Question

A distillation column is used to separate 925 kg /h of a mixture containing 38 wt% Butanol (C4 H10 O) in Pentanol
(C5 H12 O), to give top product of 67% mole Butanol and 85% mole Pentanol waste (at bottom).
1. Calculate the mole flow rate, mole fraction and mole percentage of each stream in the (F, D & W) around
the column? All results should be tabulated in the Table below.
2. Calculate the heat removed by condenser?
Given the following data;
The enthalpy of feed stream is = -815 kJ/kgmol
The enthalpy of distillate is = 980 kJ/kgmol
The enthalpy of waste is = 3100kJ/kgmol
The heat added by boiler is = 5500 kJ /h
