be fractionated to a distillate containing 97 mole percent heptane and a residue containing 99 mole
percent ethyl benzene using a total condenser and feed at its saturated liquid condition. The enthalpyconcentration data for the heptane-ethyl benzene at 1 atm pressure are as follows:
xheptane
yheptane
Hl (kJ/kmol) x 10-3
Hv (kJ/kmol) x 10-3
zF = 0.42
HF = 22.30098 x 103 kJ/kmol (from graph)
xD = 0.97
HD = 21.53695 x 103 kJ/kmol (from graph)
xW = 0.01
HW = 24.27584 x 103 kJ/kmol (from graph)
At minimum reflux ratio, the tie-line passing through F determines Q' and Q"
Q' = 98.4391 x 103 kJ/kmol (from graph)
Q" = -34.4537 x 103 kJ/kmol (from graph)
HG1 = 53.70453 x 103 kJ/kmol (from graph)
HL0 = HD = 21.53695 x 103 kJ/kmol
Reflux ratio, R = (Q' - HG1) / (HG1 - HL0) = (98.4391 - 53.70453) / (53.70453 - 21.53695)
= 1.3907
Minimum Reflux ratio = 1.3907
Minimum number of stages at total reflux is found from the x-y diagram and = 6.97
Number of stages at reflux ratio of 2.5:
(Q' - 53.70453) / (53.70453 - 21.53695)= 2.5
Q' = 134.1235 x 103 kJ/kmol
F = 9.9937 kmol/hr
Material balance equations:
F=D+W
F zF = D xD + W xW
i.e.
9.9937 = D + W
9.9937 x 0.42 = 0.97 D + 0.01 W
Solving,
0.96 D = 4.0974
D = 4.2681 kmol/hr
W = 9.9937 - 4.2681 = 5.7256 kmol/hr
Energy balance equation:
F HF = D Q' + W Q"
Substituting for the known quantities,
9.9937 x 22.30098 x 103 = 4.2681 x 134.1235 x 103 + 5.7256 x Q"
Q" = -61.0562 x 103 kJ/kmol
Q' = HD + QC / D
Q" = HW - QB / W
Substituting for the known quantities in the above equations,
134.1235 x 103 = 21.53695 x 103 + QC / 4.2681
QC = 480.53 x 103 kJ/hr = 133.48 kW
-61.0562 x 103 = 24.27584 x 103 - QB / 5.7256
QB = 488.58 x 103 kJ/hr = 135.72 kW
Condenser duty = QC = 133.48 kW
Reboiler duty = QB = 135.72 kW
Number of stages is estimated from Ponchon-Savarit method as shown in the graph, and is equal to 11 (including
the reboiler).
