Question
Benzene and toluene are separated in a multi-stage distillation column. The feed flow rate is 100 mol s-1 and the distillate flow rate is 60 mol s-1. The reflux ratio is 2.6 and the recovery of benzene is 90%. The pressure can be assumed to be 1.5 atm throughout the column. The feed is 50% vapour and 50% liquid on a molar basis in equilibrium at 1.5 atm. The mole fraction of benzene in the liquid phase of the feed is 0.5.
i) By performing a total-mole balance and an enthalpy balance over the feed stage, show that the liquid and vapour flow rates below the feed are: Ls = Fq + Lr and VS=Vr+F(q-1), where q=(hv - hf)/(hv - hi) and the other symbols have their usual meanings.
Summary
The question belongs to Chemical Engineering and it discusses about calculation of liquid and vapour flow rates of the feeds with total mole balance and enthalpy balance.

The experience is wonderful and more importantly I enjoyed the warmth with which they welcomed me and addressed my marketing management problem. The experts here are from Australia itself and not someone sitting in UK and USA, not having any knowledge about the Australian market.
I was really unsure about using the forms and classes in visual basic programming language when I came across HwA. The visual basic assignment expert here has deep insight and knowledge and I think as they are professional involved in visual basic programming, they tend to solve the assignments much more accurately and that too in no time.
I hugely owe to HwA for clearing my concepts as far as accounting entries are concerned. Previously I was not sure in which side of the balance sheet I need to put things like “labour overheadâ€, “capital investmentâ€, etc. But now, thanks to HwA, everything is crystal clear.
Things got very difficult during my 3rd semester of my Mechanical Engineering course. After coming to the States I realized that education here is very challenging. Thanks to TheReliableTutor.com, I completed all the fluid mechanics reports with an A+. Now currently they are working on my mid-tern research report and I am happy with the service.
I was initially astonished to find out that this website has a specialized section for pediatric nurses. The experts here are wonderful and helped me out with various theoretical childcare nursing intervention strategies with logic, reason and strong scholarly references. Really did well in my course due to HwA.

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
