1. 1000kgmoles/hr. of a feed containing the following composition is separated in a single stage in an isothermal flash at 500C and 200kpa.

Find the product composition and flow rate if the distribution coefficient at 500C and 200kpa are given in the following table. Use Newton Raphson method. Component C3 C4 C5 C6 Feed mole fraction 0.3 0.1 0.15 0.45 K at 500C and 7.0 2.4 0.8 0.3 200kpa 2. A distillation column with a partial reboiler and a total condenser is separating chloroform from carbon tetra chloride at total reflux. We wish to use a column that operates as if it had 15 equilibrium contacts including reboiler. The column is operated under total reflux and the distillate composition was measured as 0.982 mole fraction chloroform and bottoms of 0.037 mole fraction chloroform. Determine the relative volatility of the system. 3. Classify the membrane separation processes based on the driving force. 4. A saturated liquid feed 10 kg moles/hr. with 40 mole% benzene and the rest toluene is to be separated into a distillate of 0.992 mole fraction benzene and a bottoms of 0.986 molefraction toluene. Constant molal overflow is valid. Assume constant relative volatility is 2.4. The column has a partial reboiler and a total condenser, determine the minimum number of plates required. 5. Explain the principle of electrodialysis and write the industrial applications of the same. 6. A distillation column with a total condenser and a total reboiler is separating 5000 moles/hr. of a mixture which is 40mole% methanol and 60 mole% water. The feed caters as a two phase mixture that flashes as 30% vapour on the feed stage. Constant molar over flow is valid. A reflux is returned as a saturated liquid and the boil up is returned as a saturated vapour. We desire a distillate that is 97 mole% methanol and bottoms of 3 mole% methanol and wish to use the boilup ratio as 1. Find the total number of stages required for this separation and the flow rates of various streams. 7. Discuss about the various factors which limit the capacity of counter current and packed columns. 8. Explain reverse osmosis and ultrafiltration. Discuss the industrial applications of both.
