A liquid mixture containing 0.45 mol fraction of heptane and 0.55 mole fraction ethyl benzene is fed as saturated vapor to a dis

tillation column at a flow rate of 200 kgmol/h for product separation. The distillation operates at 1 atm (absolute). The recovery of heptane (to the distillate product) is 95% and the required heptane purity in the distillate is 0.98 (mole fraction). Calculate the following:

KiRa [710]

Answer:

temperature of first extraction 330.8°C

temperature of second extraction 140.8°C

power output=3168Kw

Explanation:

Hello!

To solve this problem we must use the following steps.

1. We will call 1 the water vapor inlet, 2 the first extraction at 100kPa and 3 the second extraction at 200kPa

2. We use the continuity equation that states that the mass flow that enters must equal the two mass flows that leave

m1=m2+m3

As the problem says, 20% of the flow represents the first extraction for which 5 * 20% = 1kg / s

solving

5=1+m3

m3=4kg/s

3.

we find the enthalpies and temeperatures in each of the states, using thermodynamic tables

Through laboratory tests, thermodynamic tables were developed, these allow to know all the thermodynamic properties of a substance (entropy, enthalpy, pressure, specific volume, internal energy etc ..)  

through prior knowledge of two other properties

4.we find the enthalpy and entropy of state 1 using pressure and temperature

h1=Enthalpy(Water;T=T1;P=P1)

h1=3457KJ/kg

s1=Entropy(Water;T=T1;P=P1)

s1=7.234KJ/kg

4.

remembering that it is a reversible process we find the enthalpy and the temperature in the first extraction with the pressure 1000 kPa and the entropy of state 1

h2=Enthalpy(Water;s=s1;P=P2)

h2=3116KJ/kg

T2=Temperature(Water;P=P2;s=s1)

T2=330.8°C

5.we find the enthalpy and the temperature in the second extraction with the pressure 200 kPav y the entropy of state 1

h3=Enthalpy(Water;s=s1;P=P3)

h3=2750KJ/kg

T3=Temperature(Water;P=P3;s=s1)

T3=140.8°C

6.

Finally, to find the power of the turbine, we must use the first law of thermodynamics that states that the energy that enters is the same that must come out.

For this case, the turbine uses a mass flow of 5kg / s until the first extraction, and then uses a mass flow of 4kg / s for the second extraction, taking into account the above we infer the following equation

W=m1(h1-h2)+m3(h2-h3)

W=5(3457-3116)+4(3116-2750)=3168Kw

lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

Enthalpy at outlet=284.44 KJ

Explanation:

m_1=1 Kg/s,m_2=1.5 Kg/s,m_3=22 Kg/s

h_1=100 KJ/Kg,h_2=120 KJ/Kg,h_3=500 KJ/Kg

We need to Find enthalpy of outlet.

Lets take the outlet mass m and outlet enthalpy h.

So from mass conservation

m_1+m_2+m_3=m

   m=1+1.5+2 Kg/s

  m=4.5 Kg/s

Now from energy conservation

m_1h_1+m_2h_2+m_3h_3=mh

By putting the values

1\times 100+1.5\times 120+2\times 500=4.5\times h

So h=284.44 KJ
