Use B, and D to control the liquid level in the condenser drum and
in the re-boiler.
Use VB and R to control the end compositions i.e., xB, xD
Simplified Model
One can further simplify the foregoing model by the
following assumptions:
a) Equi-molar flow rates, i.e. whenever one mole of liquid vaporizes
a tantamount of vapor condenses. This occur when the molar heat
of vaporization of all components are about the same.
This assumption leads to further idealization that implies constant
temperature over the entire column, thus neglecting the energy
balance.
In addition, the vapor rate through the column is constant and equal
to:
VB = V1 = V2 =… = Vn (2.179)
(b) Constant relative volatility, thus a simpler formula for the phase
equilibrium can be used:
yj = aj xj/(1+(aj − 1) xj) (2.180)
