Advanced Separations - Chapter 10: Equilibrium-Based Methods for Multicomponent Absorption, Stripping, Distillation, and Extraction
1. Calculate product compositions, stage temperatures, interstage vapor and liquid flow rates and compositions,
reboiler duty, and condenser duty with a process simulator for the following column specifications.
Feed (bubble-point liquid at 250 psia and 213.9°F):
Component (lbmol/h)
Ethane- 3.0
Propane- 20.0
n-Butane- 37.0
n-Pentane- 35.0
n-Hexane - 5.0
Column pressure = 250 psia; partial condenser and partial reboiler;
Distillate rate = 23.0 lbmol∕h; reflux rate = 150.0 lbmol∕h;
Number of equilibrium stages (exclusive of condenser and
reboiler) = 15;
Feed is sent to middle stage.
For this system at 250 psia, K-values and enthalpies may be computed
by the SRK EOS.
