    This document provides instructions for a chemical engineering laboratory assignment to analyze a Depropanizer separation unit. A feed of 1272 lbmole/hr enters the unit with given composition and temperature/pressure. The student is asked to determine the minimum reflux ratio, number of actual trays, and optimal feed stage required to separate the feed into a distillate with i-butane heavy key of 0.02 mole fraction and a bottoms with propane light key of 0.025 mole fraction and an external reflux ratio of 1.5 using the NRTL fluid package.

    Chemical Engineering Laboratory IV


    Class Work 6
    Time: 25 minutes (including submission)
    Consider a feed of 1272 lbmole/hr at 207.3℃ and 100 psia enters a Depropanizer. The feed has
    the following composition in mole fraction:

    Ethane 0.0148
    Propane 0.7315
    i-butane 0.0681
    n-butane 0.1462
    i-pentane 0.0173
    n-pentane 0.015
    n-hexane 0.0071

    Heavy key in distillate is i-butane (0.02 mole frac.) and light key in bottoms is propane (0.025
    mole frac.) with an external reflux ratio of 1.5. Find out the minimum reflux ratio , number of
    actual trays and optimal feed stage of this separation unit. (Use NRTL fluid package)

    Assume condenser and reboiler pressure to be same of the feed's.
