Chapter 15, Problem 15.15P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation :

Determine the dewpoint temperature of the mixture and the composition of the first condensate if a system is condensed at constant pressure.

Concept Introduction :

At dew point of the system, the gas phase composition (y) remains the same as the overall composition of the system (z) because at the dew point, a small droplet of the liquid will form which has the negligible composition.

  zA=yAzB=yBzC=yC

In condensation, the layer which has less dew point temperature, will come later and vice versa.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation :

Determine the temperature at which the second liquid phase appears and its initial composition.

Concept Introduction :

After the further condensation of mixture, the vapor composition of water will change but the heptane and pentane have same composition as before. So, at the temperature where first drop of hydrocarbon layer will show up, the following ratio shall be valid

  y2y3=z2z3

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation :

Determine the bubblepoint temperature and the composition of the last bubble of the vapor.

Concept Introduction :

At bubble point of the system, the liquid phase composition (y) remains the same as the overall composition of the system (z) because at the bubble point, a small droplet of the bubbleremains in the system after the condensation which has the negligible composition and for two immiscible layers mixture we already know that x1=1 and x2+x3=1 . Hence,

  x1=1x2=z2z2+z3x3=z3z2+z3

Example A continuous fractionating column is to be design to separate 30 Ib/h of a mixture of 40 percent benzene and 60 percent toluene into an overhead product containing 97 percent benzene and a bottom product containing 98 percent toluene. These percentages are by weight. A reflux ratio of 3.5 mol to 1 mol of product is to be used. The molal latent heats of benzene and toluene are 7,360 and 7,960 cal/mol, respectively. Benzene and toluene form an ideal system with a relative volatility of about 2.5; the equilibrium curve is shown in Figure below. The feed has a boiling point of 95 °C at a pressure of 1 atm. (a) Calculate the moles of overhead product and bottom product per hour. (b) Determine the number of ideal plate and the position of the feed plate: (i) if the feed is liquid and at its boiling point. (ii)if the feed is liquid and at 20 °C (specific heat 0.44 cal/ g.°C) (iii) if the feed is a mixture of two-thirds vapor and one-third liquid. (c) If steam at 20 Ib/in? (1.36 atm)…
Hydrogen, important for numerous processes, can be produced by the shift reaction: CO+H2O-CO2 +H2 In the reactor system shown in the Figure, the conditions of conversion have been adjusted so that the H2 content of the effluent from the reactor is 3 mol %. Based on the data in following figure: a. Calculate the composition of the fresh feed. b. Calculate the moles of recycle per mole of hydrogen produced. Recycle CO, H2O Feed CO H₂O Reactor % 3 mol % H₂ Separator % CO₂ 48 H₂ 48 CO 4
