The feed is 50:50 mixture of vapor and liquid at 192 °C. The column is at a pressure of 8 atm and is toachieve a desired purity of 95 mol% Acetone in the distillate and 95 mol% m-Xylene in the bottoms. Equimolar overflow can be assumed. Graphs are provided at the end of the document. The heat capacity constants are given below.

ANSWER: A ‘The feed quality in column distillation is the fraction of the feed that is liquid. Ifthe amount of the feed that is liquid increases, the feed liquid will condense a greater portion of vapor rising up from the stripping section and [ar will increase. 2. ANSWER: C ‘The feed stage is the stage that connects the top operating line to the bottom operating line. Counting off stages, the 3" stage comes from the top operating line; after this stage, one ‘moves {0 the bottom operating line, making it the feed stage. This is due to the change in ‘material balances that occur around the feed stage. 3. ANSWER: D Can have total reflux (co) where all condensed liquid is sent back into the column (D = 0) or single separation (no reflux % = 0 ), and anything in between.44 Az beelont, X= m-Yylene D ma pss Tez 143°C B lpeveeavas F %Bq= 0.05 A) Pelee voll Ds Xq= 0.30 a > vse xy gph te fod Ya when 42030 > Yaz O.25- Yala _ 2%30 ate aes c oad a) © 08) 030) we on B) See 1% oxy goyhs (ned) re 3, Boy Whe 2 Ae side canter } l _ _ ‘ ee ae ‘) L f * ae = OS > slope = E> 22 > 3) Fok Ghee ploe tects Epa Ine — (033,062) > see a8 ny sap ~ Food slope of [me fom dub pt to (Yon, oa) = (049,018) Tol Slope @ Ra= weno? => [TC stp EF Kem = 0.389 D Rn = slepe 0,381 (lge > Yaga?
