A feed containing n-butane and pentane at a boiling point of 405.3 kPa is distilled in a fractionating tower to recover 95% of the pentane in the distillate and 95% of the n-hexane in the bottoms. The document asks to calculate: a) the composition and flow rates of the distillate and bottoms, b) the top and bottom temperatures of the tower, c) the minimum stages for total reflux and trace component distributions, d) the minimum reflux ratio using Underwood's method, e) the number of theoretical stages at a reflux ratio of 1.3 times the minimum using Erbar-Maddox, and f) the

Total reflux, minimum reflux, number of stages.

The following feed of 100 mol/h the boiling point and 405,3 kpa pressure is fed to a fractionating tower : n-butane (Xa = 0.40),

This feed is distiled so that 95% of the pentane is recovered in the distilate and 95% of the n hexane in the bottoms. Calculate the following. a. Mol per hour and composition of destillate and bottoms b. Top and bottom temperature of tower c. Minimum stages for total reflux and distribution of other components (trace components) in the destillate and bottoms, mole and mole fractions. [also correct the compositions and moles in part (a) for the traces d. Minimum reflux ratio using underwood method. e. Number of theoretical stages at an operating reflux ratio of 1.3 times the minimum using the erbar maddox correlation. f. Location of the feed tray using the kirkbride method
