Using the diagrams, solve by the Ponchon Savarit method for the benzene and toluene system. Assume a flow of 5 kmol/s of a mixture of methanol and ethanol (saturated liquid), with a composition of 40% methanol.
It is required that at the outlet of the distillate there be a composition of 90% and at the bottoms of 10% of the most volatile component.
a) Calculate the number of minimum stages
b) Calculate the minimum reflux value
c) Using a ratio of 1.5 of the minimum reflux, calculate the number of stages
d) Calculate the flows of D and W
e) Calculate a flow of steam and liquid in the depletion zone and in the rectification zone (4 in total).
Attach the diagrams with the necessary lines and the calculation memory. Enthalpy has units of kJ/kmol.
