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.

Air is to be cooled in the evaporator section of a refrigerator by passing it over a bank of 0.8-cm-outer-diameter and 0.4-m-long tubes inside which the refrigerant is evaporating at -20°c. air approaches the tube bank in the normal direction at 0°c and 1 atm with a mean velocity of 4 m/s. the tubes are arranged in-line with longitudinal and transverse pitches of sl- st 1.5 cm. there are 30 rows in the flow direction with 15 tubes in each row. determine (a) the refrigeration capacity of this system and (b) pressure drop across the tube bank. evaluate the air properties at an assumed mean temperature of -5°c and 1 atm. is this a good assumption?
