Energy Balance For Distillation Column

The document summarizes the assumptions and calculations for the enthalpy changes in the inlet and outlet streams of a distillation column. It lists the components in the inlet feed as toluene, para-xylene, meta-xylene, and ortho-xylene in liquid phase. It provides the flow rates, reference temperatures, operating temperatures and enthalpy changes for each component in the inlet and downstream outlet streams. The upstream outlet stream only contains toluene in gas phase with corresponding values listed. No heat loss or reactions are assumed to occur in the distillation column.
