0.3kg/s of saturated liquid containing 44%w/w water and 56%w/w acetic acid is to be fractionated to give distillate containing 90% w/w water and bottoms containing 20%w/w water. The reflux ratio is 5 and the reflux is returned as saturated liquid. The enthalpies of saturated liquid and vapour, h and H in Joules/gm are given by: h=250+170xH=670+2010y where x and y are weight fractions of water in liquid and vapour respectively. Equilibrium data in wt % water is: Calculate: a- Number of theoretical stages in rectifying and stripping sections. b- Product flow rates c- Flow of water in overhead condenser assuming a temperature rise of 20K for water d- Flow of saturated steam at 3 bar pressure required for the reboiler
