Your Question:

What are the mass flow (kg/hour) and approximate volumetric flow (L/hour) ​​of the process in fig 7.1​?​ Assuming throughput scales linearly with column cross-sectional area, what would these numbers be for a column 30 feet in diameter? What is the reboiler duty of the Fig. 7.1 column in watts​,​ and​ in​ horsepower​?​ How does this compare with the electrical power consumption of a typical American home?  Sketch the two operating lines and the feed q line for the process of Fig. 7.1.  ATTACHED
