    The document describes 7 distillation column problems involving separating various mixtures. Each problem provides information like the feed composition and flow rate, operating pressure, desired distillate and bottoms compositions, and some specify reflux ratio, reboiler type, or temperature. The goal of each problem is to calculate various unknown process parameters like distillate rate, bottoms rate, condenser duty, and reboiler duty.

    Equipo 1. A distillation column separating ethanol from water is shown.

    Pressure is 1 kg/cm2. Instead of having a reboiler, steam (pure water


    vapor) is injected directly into the bottom of the column to provide heat.
    The injected steam is a saturated vapor. The feed is 30 wt % ethanol and
    is at 20 C. Feed flow rate is 100 kg/min. Reflux is a saturated liquid. We
    desire a distillate concentration of 60 wt % ethanol and a bottoms
    product that is 5 wt % ethanol. The steam is input at 100 kg/min. What is
    the external reflux ratio, L/D?

    Equipo 2. A distillation column separating ethanol from water is shown.


    Pressure is 1 kg/cm2. Instead of having a condenser, a stream of pure
    liquid ethanol is added directly to the column to serve as the reflux. This
    stream is a saturated liquid. The feed is 40 wt % ethanol and is at 20
    C. Feed flow rate is 2000 kg/h. We desire a distillate concentration of 80
    wt % ethanol and a bottoms composition of 5 wt % ethanol. A total
    reboiler is used, and the boilup is a saturated vapor. The cooling stream
    is input at C = 1000 kg/h. Find the external boilup rate. Note: Set up the
    equations, solve in equation form for including explicit equations for all
    required terms, read off all required enthalpies from the enthalpy
    composition diagram, and then calculate
    a numerical answer.
    Equipo 3. A distillation column is separating ethanol from water at a
    pressure of 1 kg/cm2. A two-phase feed of 20 wt% ethanol at 93C is
    input at 100 kg/min. The column has a total condenser and a partial
    reboiler. The distillate composition is 90 wt % ethanol. Distillate and
    reflux are at 20C. Bottoms composition is 1 wt % ethanol. Reflux ratio is
    L0/D = 3. A liquid side stream is withdrawn above the feed stage. Side
    stream is 70 wt % ethanol, and side stream flow rate is 10 kg/min. Find
    D, B, Qc, and QR.
    Equipo 4. A continuous, steady-state distillation column is fed a mixture
    that is 70 mol% n-pentane and 30 mol% n-hexane. Feed rate is 1000
    kmol/h. Feed is at 35C. Column is at 101.3 kPa. The vapor distillate
    product is 99.9 mol% n-pentane and the bottoms product is 99.9 mol%
    n-hexane. The system has a partial condenser (thus the distillate product

    is a saturated vapor) and operates at an external reflux ratio of L/D =


    2.8. The reboiler is a partial reboiler. Find D, B, Qc & Q R. Use DePriester
    chart to determine boiling points.
    Equipo 5. A distillation column is separating 500 kmol/h of a mixture that
    is 76 mol% methanol and 24 mol% water. The bottoms product contains
    0.00002 mole fraction methanol, and the distillate is 0.9999 mol%
    methanol. The boilup ratio = 1.5. Estimate the reboiler heat duty QR.
    Equipo 6. A mixture of oxygen and nitrogen is to be distilled at low
    temperature. The feed rate is 25,000 kmol/h and is 21 mol% oxygen and
    79 mol% nitrogen. An ordinary column will be used. Column pressure is 1
    atm. The feed is a superheated vapor at 100 K. We desire a bottoms
    composition of 99.6 mol% oxygen and a distillate that is 99.7 mol%
    nitrogen. Reflux ratio is L0/D = 4, and reflux is returned as a saturated
    liquid. Find D, B, QR, and Qc.

    Equipo 7. A mixture of water and ammonia is to be distilled in an


    ordinary distillation system at a pressure of 6 kg/cm2. The feed is 30 wt
    % ammonia and is at 20 C. We desire a distillate product that is 98 wt %
    ammonia and a 95% recovery of the ammonia in the distillate. The
    external reflux ratio is L0/D = 2.0. Reflux is returned at 20 C. Find D,
    B, xB, QR, and Qc per mole of feed.
