Question

A continuous fractionating column is to be designed for separating 9000 kg per hour of a liquid mixture containing 45 mole percent methanol and 55 mole percent water into an overhead product containing 96
mole percent methanol and a bottom product having 98() mole percent water. A mole reflux ratio of 3 is used. Calculate (i) moles of overhead product obtained per hour and (ii) number of ideal plates and location of the feed plate if the feed is at its bubble point. Equilibrium data:
X 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4 0.5 0.6 0.7 0.8 0.9
Y 0.417 0.579 0.669 0.729 0.78 0.825 0.871 0.915 0.959
Where x = mole fraction of methanol in liquid
And y = mole fraction of methanol in vapor
