6D3. Do the matrix for n-butane for Problem 6.

D2
We are separating a mixture of ethane, propane, nbutane and n pentane in a
destilation column operating at 5 atm. The column has a total condenser and a
partial reboiler. The feed flow rate is 1000 kmol/h. The feed is a saturated liquid.
Feed is 8.0% mol ethane, 33% propane, 49% n-butane. 10% n-pentane. The
column has 4 equilibrium stages and the partial reboiler, which is an equilibrium
contact. The feed is ons econd stage below the total condenser. The reflux ratio
L0/D=2.5. Distillate flow rate D=410Kmol/h. Develop the mass balance and
equilibrium matrix with numerical values for each element (A,B,C,D). Do this for
your firts guess: Tj= bubble point temperatura of feed (use the same temperatura
for all stages). K values are from the Depriester chart and L and V are CMO
values.

5D8. A distillation column with a partial reboiler and a total condenser is being used
to separate a mixture of benzene, toluene, and cumene. The feed is 40 mol%
benzene, 30 mol% toluene, and 30 mol% cumene and is a saturated vapor. Feed
rate is 1000 kmol/h. Reflux is returned as a saturated liquid, and L/D=2.0. We
desire 95% recovery of cumene in the bottoms and 95% recovery of toluene in the
distillate. Pressure is 1 atm. Assume constant relative volatilities αBT=2.25, αTT=1.0,
αCT=0.21. Find the optimum feed stages and the total number of equilibrium
contacts required.
