An oil containing 2.55 mol% of hydrocarbon is stripped by running the oil down on column up which live steam is passed, so that 4kmol of steam are used per 100 kmol of oil is stripped. Determine the theoretical plates required analytically to produce the hydrocarbon content to 0.05 mol%, assuming that the oil is non- volatile. The vapor-liquid relation of the hydrocarbon in the oil is given by y*=33x. The temperature is maintained constant by internal heating, so that steam does not condense in water.

An oil containing 2.55 mol% of hydrocarbon is stripped by running the oil down on column up which live
steam is passed, so that 4kmol of steam are used per 100 kmol of oil is stripped. Determine the theoretical
plates required analytically to produce the hydrocarbon content to 0.05 mol%, assuming that the oil is non-
volatile. The vapor-liquid relation of the hydrocarbon in the oil is given by y*=33x. The temperature is
maintained constant by internal heating, so that steam does not condense in water.
