I only need part a.) for this question. In my studying, I've managed to get to the composition of the distillate, which is 0.968, and the feed, which is 459.25 kmol/hr, but I need help on the rest of part a.), I just don't understand how I get the composition of the bottoms.
The enthalpy graph is below:
So far, I've used Xd=(99/58.08)/((99/58.08)+(1/18.02)) to get Xd, and then F=(0.25 * 10,000)/58.08 + (0.75*10,000)/18.02 to get F=459.25 kmol/hr.
9.10 An acetone-water solution containing 25 wt% acetone is to be fractionated at a rate of 10 000 kg/h at 1 std atm pressure, and it is planned to recover 99.5% of the acetone in the distillate at a concentration of 99 wt %. The feed will be available at 26.7C (80F) and will be preheated by heat exchange with the residue product from the fractionator, which will in turn be cooled to 51.7C (125F). The distilled vapors will be condensed and cooled to 37.8C (125F) by cooling water entering at 26.7C and leaving at 40.6C. Reflux will be returned at 37.8C, at a reflux ratio L/D = 1.8. Open steam, available at 70 kN/m2, will be used at the base of the tower. The tower will be insulated to reduce heat losses to negligible values. Physical property data are given in Prob. 9.4.
