Question

A distillation column with a total condenser and a partial reboiler is separating ethanol and
water at 1.0 atm. Feed is 0.32 mol fraction ethanol and it enters as a saturated liquid at 100
mol/s on the optimum plate. The distillate product is a saturated liquid with 80 mol% ethanol.
The condenser removes 5615 kW. The bottoms product is 0.05 mol fraction ethanol. Assume
CMO is valid.
(a) Find the number of equilibrium stages for this separation. [6 + PR]
(b) Find how much larger the actual reflux ratio, R, used is than Rmin, i.e. R/Rmin. [3]
Note: the heats of vaporization of ethanol and water are λe = 38.58 ௞௃
௠௢௟ and λw = 40.645 ௞௃
