Calculate Molar Feed Stream Ratio Using Raoult’s Law
Question
A liquid stream consisting of 12.5 mol% n-butane and the balance a heavy nonvolatile hydrocarbon is fed to the top of a stripping column, where it is contacted with an upward-flowing stream of nitrogen. The residual liquid leaves the bottom of the column containing all of the heavy hydrocarbon, 5% of the butane entering the column, and a negligible amount of dissolved nitrogen.
(a) The highest possible butane mole fraction in the exiting gas would be that in equilibrium with the butane in the entering liquid (a condition that would require an infinitely tall column to achieve). Using Raoult’s law to relate the mole fractions of butane in the entering liquid and exiting gas, calculate the molar feed stream ratio (mol gas fed/mol liquid fed) corresponding to this limiting condition.
(b) Suppose the actual mole fraction of butane in the exit gas is 80% of its theoretical maximum value and the percentage stripped (95%) is the same as part (a). Calculate the ratio (mol gas fed/mol liquid fed) for this case.
Summary
The question belongs to Chemical Engineering and it discusses about calculation of molar feed stream ratio using Raoult’s law of butane entering into a stripping column.

Higher order simultaneous equation where I needed to find out values for 5 or 6 variables forming appropriate equations from a given problem, was really my weak area. However, when I came across HwA they helped me and also assisted me to understand how exactly from a problem statement, the equations can be formed and how they can be evaluated.

I needed urgent help with my Labor Economics Assignment essay. The other online help service that I was using had produced an extremely unsatisfactory essay and I was in desperate need to make it right. I did not even have more than a day to fix it. But when I approached HwA they were up for the challenge and boy did they deliver! I passed in my assignment and even managed to be in the top ten of the class.

The PowerPoint presentation with speaker notes prepared for my world cuisines assignment by the PowerPoint presentation help expert at HwA was absolutely as I had requested for. It was interesting, structured, and not overladen with text content.

I wanted to do a engineering dissertation on data structure but was confused on how to identify a topic and write a report. The engineering thesis and dissertation advisors here at TheReliableTutor had an online live session with me and after understanding my requirements they came up with three suggested Research Proposal Writing topics

After I moved to Australia to study Computer Science and Engineering, I found out that the things are quite different than what it used to be in the Indian universities. The course structure is much more practical oriented and thus the numbers of assignments are also more. I was clueless and was struggling to cope when I came across HwA. Thanks to them I got through my first two semesters with good grades and that boosted my confidence. Now I am pursuing my post-graduation from a Queensland based reputed technology university and still taking help from HwA.

this is a very good website
I have 50 questions for the same test your page is showing only 28
hi can you please help or guide me to answer my assignments. thanks
hi can anyone help or guide me to my assignments. thanks
This solution is perfect ...thanks
Hello Allison,I love the 2nd image that you did! I also, had never heard of SumoPaint, is something that I will have to exolpre a bit! I understand completely the 52 (or so) youtube videos that you probably watched. Sometimes they have what you want, sometimes they don't! However, it is always satisfying when you are able to produce something that you have taught yourself. Great job!Debra 0 likes
