Question

A distillation column is used to separate 930 kg /h of a mixture containing 40 wt% Butanol (C4 H10 O) in Pentanol (C5 H12 O), to give top product of 70% mole Butanol and 60% mole Pentanol waste (at bottom). 1. Calculate the mole flow rate, mole fraction and mole percentage of each stream in the (F, D & W) around the column? All results should be tabulated in the Table below. 2. Calculate the heat removed by condenser?

Given the following data; The enthalpy of feed stream is = -840 kJ/kgmol The enthalpy of distillate is = 980 kJ/kgmol The enthalpy of waste is = 3100 kJ/kgmol The heat added by boiler is = 5500 kJ /h
