1- What is the zeotropic mixture?

Ans: zeotropic mixture: is a mixture of two substances that distill at the same temperature

Tbubble point =Tdew point

2- Define "Equilibrium Unit Operation"?

Ans: Equilibrium Unit Operation: It is an operation used to find out the status of an azeotrope
between the components that must be separated before initializing the distillation column.

3- What are the purposes of use the shortcut distillation in aspen hysys?

Ans: purpose of using the shortcut distillation it is used to find the number of trays

Or The Shortcut Column distillation is only an estimate of the Column performance and is restricted to
simple refluxed Columns. For more realistic results the rigorous Column operation should be used.
This operation can provide initial estimations for the most rigorous Columns

4- What are the differences between design of PFR and CSTR in aspen hysys?

Ans:

The Plug Flow Reactor (PFR): The consists of a bank of cylindrical pipes or tubes

Shape: cylindrical pipes or tubes

Continuous Stirred Tank Reactor (CSTR): It consists of a tank with a stirrer generally installed on top

Shape: tank with a stirrer

5- Is use the equilibrium unit operation before design the distillation necessary? Why?

Ans: Yes, it is necessary to know the status of the azeotrope between the components that are
required to be separated.

Q4//

Ans:

1-The change of pressure (1 bar to 10 bar)

2-The addition of a material separation agent changes the molecular interaction and removal of
zeotropic.
