xylenes project. please draw out pfd and show work.

Problem Statement: Xylenes are used as raw materials for the manufacturing of polyesters which are used for textile fibers, photographic film, and soft-drink bottles. The process to be added to an existing facility involves the isomerization reactor where meta-xylenes (mx) is converted to ortho-xylenes (0x) and para-xylenes (p-x). Note that all three of these compounds are isomers (same elemental composition with different chemical structure). Therefore, they have the same molecular weight ( MW=106). For our purposes here we will assume that equal amounts of ox and px are produced so that the reaction proceeds as follows: 2mxrxnox+px This liquid phase reaction is assumed to be irreversible and is approximated by first-order kinetics with a rate constant of kr=0.133min1. The reaction is slightly endothermic (Hreact= 295gmolofmxreactedcal ) The simplified process is described below. A liquid feed stream will enter the process at 2atm and a temperature off 77F at a rate of 1.15 million kg/day. The mass fractions of that feed stream are: The feed stream goes through a distillation column where 99% (by mass) of the benzene is removed in the distillate (the top of the distillation column at 80F and 1atm ), the small amount of benzene and the entire xylene stream comes out in the bottoms at atmospheric pressure (1atm) and 283F. A centrifugal pump will be used to increase the pressure of the stream sufficiently to overcome the pressure drop due to friction in each of the components of the process (see the additional information given below). Following the pump, the stream will pass through a heat exchanger where the temperature will be increased from 283F to 500F using steam. The hot pressurized stream will then be fed into a well-mixed isothermal reactor (maintained with a steam jacket around the reactor) where 70% of the mx will be reacted to form 0x and px. The product stream from the reactor is cooled as much as possible with cooling water (100F) in another heat exchanger before entering the separation system. The separation system will yield four streams with the following mass fractions and which are all the same temperature. Technical Details. 1) Assume that the separation system is isothermal (operates at constant temperature) 2) The separation system at the end of the process uses a complex scheme of multiple stages. For this preliminary design, simply represent the separation system by a box labeled "separation system" in your excel sheet 3) Assume countercurrent, single pass heat exchangers 4) mxylenescpTh=msteam Hvap 5) The heat capacity for the xylene stream has the formula a.

When used for the heater and reactor, the amount of steam that is used is only that which is condensed, and the condensate leaves as a saturated liquid. 8) Cooling water is available at 90%F and has a maximum outlet temperature of 120%F. The heat capacity of water is 1sCcal or 4.18gCl or 1EFFBru 9) In selecting the temperature of the process stream leaving the cooler, observe the rule of them that the minimum temperature difference (either T1 or T2 ) for a heat exchanger is 10F, which means the Temp exciting the Xylene stream will be 100F 10) The pressure drop due to friction in each of the units is estimated to be as follows: The outlet pressure frolutue separation system is atmospheric pressure.
