Chapter 3, Problem 3.46P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

A formula for the density of the block should be derived.

Concept introduction:

It is given that a rectangular block floats at the interface between two immiscible liquids. The dimensions of the block are given as follows,

Height of the block = L

Cross sectional area of the block = A

Density of the light liquid = ρ1

Density of the heavy liquid = ρ2

Height from top surface of light liquid to the top surface of the block = h0

Height from the top of the block to the liquids interface = h1

Height from liquid interface to the bottom of block = h2

Archimedes' principle,

According to Archimedes principle the upward buoyant force that is exerted on a body immersed in a fluid, is equal to the weight of the fluid that the body displaces.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

Prove that the two approaches used to balance force on the block are correct.

In the production of ethyl acetate via reactive distillation, the column operates at 5 bar with an equimolar feed (ethanol + acetic acid) at 80°C. The reaction follows: \[CH_3COOH + C_2H_5OH \rightleftharpoons CH_3COOC_2H_5 + H_2O \quad (K_{eq} = 4.2 \text{ at } 80°C)\] Given: - NRTL parameters for all binary pairs - Tray efficiency = 65% - Vapor-liquid equilibrium exhibits positive azeotrope formation Calculate the exact minimum reflux ratio required to achieve 98% ethyl acetate purity in the distillate, assuming: 1) The reaction reaches equilibrium on each tray 2) The heavy key component is water
In a multi-stage distillation column designed to separate a binary mixture of ethanol and water, the mass flow rate of the feed entering the column is \( F \), and the distillate product flow rate is \( D \). The reflux ratio \( R \) is defined as the ratio of the liquid returned to the column to the distillate flow rate. For the ideal case, where the column operates at maximum efficiency, determine the **minimum reflux ratio** \( R_{\text{min}} \) when the relative volatility \( \alpha = 1.5 \).
