A distillation column with a partial reboiler and a total condenser is being used to separate a mixture of benzene, toluene, and cumene. The feed is 40 mol% benzene, 30 mol% toluene and 30 mol% cumene. The feed is input as a saturated vapor. We desire 99% recovery of the toluene in the bottoms and 98% recovery of the benzene in the distillate. The reflux is returned as a saturated liquid, and CMO can be assumed. Equilibrium can be represented as constant relative volatilities. Choosing toluene as the reference component, ?benzene-toluene = 2.25 and ?cumene-toluene = 0.210. Use the Fenske equation to find the number of equilibrium stages required at total reflux and the recovery fraction of cumene in the bottoms. b. For the distillation problem given in part a, find the minimum reflux ratio by use of the Underwood equations. Use a basis of 100 moles of feed/h. Clearly state your assumptions. d. For L/D = 1.25(L/D)min , find the total number of equilibrium stages required for the distillation problem presented in parts a and b. Use the Gilliland correlation. Estimate the optimum feed plate location.

Apump is used to circulate hot water in a home heating system. water enters the well-insulated pump operating at steady state at a rate of 0.42 gal/min. the inlet pressure and temperature are 14.7 lbf/in.2, and 180°f, respectively; at the exit the pressure is 60 lbf/in.2 the pump requires 1/15 hp of power input. water can be modeled as an incompressible substance with constant density of 60.58 lb/ft3 and constant specific heat of 1 btu/lb or. neglecting kinetic and potential energy effects, determine the temperature change, in °r, as the water flows through the pump.
