The feed to a distillation column (sketched below) is a 45.0 mole% n-pentane–55.0 mole% n-hexane liquid mixture. The vapor stream leaving the top of the column, which contains 98.0 mole% pentane and the balance hexane, goes to a total condenser (which means all the vapor is condensed). Half of the liquid condensate is returned to the top of the column as reflux and the rest is withdrawn as overhead product (distillate) at a rate of 85.0 kmol/h. The distillate contains 95.0% of the pentane fed to the column. The liquid stream leaving the bottom of the column goes to a reboiler. Part of the stream is vaporized; the vapor is returned to the bottom of the column as boilup, and the residual liquid is withdrawn as bottoms product. (a) Calculate the molar flow rate of the feed stream and the molar flow rate and composition of the bottoms product stream. (b) Estimate the temperature of the vapor entering the condenser, assuming that it is saturated (at its dew point) at an absolute pressure of 1 atm and that Raoult’s law applies to both pentane and hexane. Then estimate the volumetric flow rates of the vapor stream leaving the column and of the liquid distillate product. State any assumptions you make. (c) Estimate the temperature of the reboiler and the composition of the vapor boilup, again assuming operation at 1 atm.

Read the claim. breakfast is an important meal. it jump starts the body’s process of using calories to break down food. appetite can decrease with age, but going too long without eating causes metabolism to slow down. current research shows that incorporating legumes such as lentils and chickpeas into meals boosts metabolism for twenty-four hours. who might benefit from this claim? people who have a fast metabolism stores that sell exercise equipment people who take vitamin supplements grocery stores that sell legumes
