Antoine Equation Constants

This document provides information about the design of a distillation column with the following key details: 1. The column has 25 actual stages based on calculations from the Fenske equation. 2. The feed stream contains 11,464.88 kg/hr and enters at the 20th stage. 3. Key components in the feed include water, nitrobenzene, aniline, and cyclohexalamine. 4. Calculations are shown to determine the vapor-liquid equilibrium, mass flow rates, and design parameters like column diameter, stage spacing, and flooding velocity.
