    The document describes an assignment problem involving the rectification of a mixture of benzene and toluene in a distillation column. The feed contains equal amounts of benzene and toluene at a rate of 100 kg/mol/h as a saturated vapor. The distillate is required to contain 90 mol% benzene and the bottoms 10 mol% benzene, with a given reflux ratio of 4.52:1. The questions ask to calculate the minimum reflux ratio, minimum number of plates at total reflux, and theoretical number of trays at an operating reflux ratio of 1.5 times the minimum.

    Assignment 1

    Question:
    A rectification column is fed 100 kg mol/h of a mixture of 50 mol% benzene and 50 mol% toluene
    at 101.32 kPa abs pressure. The feed liquid is saturated vapor at the dew point. The distillate is to
    contain 90 mol% benzene and the bottoms 10 mol% benzene. The reflux ratio is 4.52:1. Calculate:
    a) Minimum reflux ratio, Rm
    b) Minimum number of theoretical plates at total reflux
    c) Theoretical number of trays at an operating reflux ratio of 1.5(Rm)
