In the flash distillation of salt water, the salt is totally nonvolatile (this is the equilibrium statement). Show a McCabe-Thie
le diagram for feed water containing 3.5 wt% salt. Be sure to plot weight fraction of more volatile component.

Answer:
Equilibrium Temperature is 382.71 K
Total entropy is 0.228 kJ/K
Solution:
As per the question:
Mass of the Aluminium block, M = 28 kg
Initial temperature of aluminium, = 273 + 140 = 413 K
Mass of Iron block, m = 36 kg
Temperature for iron block, = 273 + 60 = 333 K
At 400 k
Specific heat of Aluminium,
At room temperature
Specific heat of iron,
Now,
To calculate the final equilibrium temperature:
Amount of heat loss by Aluminium = Amount of heat gain by Iron
Thus
= 273 + 109.71 = 382.71 K
where
= Equilibrium temperature
Now,
To calculate the changer in entropy:
Now,
For Aluminium:
For Iron:
Thus
