Ethanol Distillation McCabe-Thiele diagram and Murphee Efficiency
Question
A distillation column is separating 1000 mol/hr of 32 mol% ethanol and water. The feed enters a sub-cooled liquid that will condense 1 mole of vapor on the feed plate for every 4 moles of feed. The column has a partial condenser and uses open (direct) steam heating. We desire to distillate product Yd = 0.75 and bottoms of Xb = 0.10. CMO is valid. The steam is pure saturated water vapor.
a. Draw a diagram of the process.
b. Use the given equilibrium diagram to demonstrate a McCabe-Thiele diagram.
c. Assuming an L/D of 2.0, how many stages are needed?
d. How many stages are needed if you have a Murphee efficiency of 2/3 for all stages?
Summary
The question belongs to Chemical Engineering and it is about ethanol water distillation process where water is separated from ethanol. The above questions have been answered in detail in the solution.

WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY
I was facing a lot of problems with finding the right and relevant material for my quantitative chemistry assignment and running out of time before the submission deadline. The chemistry assignment expert at HwA helped me find the right research material and also helped me finish the quantitative chemistry assignment on time.

I had to deal with economics during my MBA days and I must say that I was really scared of the subject. Then luckily I came across HwA, who exactly knew the syllabus which was being taught at our college in Melbourne and since that day I constantly take help from them and so far had got marvellous feedback.
Jacqueline Jones Student
Thank you guys for your great assistance. Loved the way you dealt with the assignment. Very satisfied with the work and will use your service again.
Emily Student
In the middle of writing my chemical engineering dissertation paper I was feeling totally lost and confused and the structure was going all over the place. The online chemical engineering dissertation help expert at TheReliableTutor totally understood my situation and guided me through the rut. I am now much better positioned in writing my dissertation paper and getting my doctoral degree!
Walter Sook Student
While I took occasional help for my different assignments from TheReliableTutors, I kept on wondering whether they could actually help with my dissertation paper. When I first approached them, they sounded confident and they already knew what is needed to be done. That was very relieving as even before my professor told me what to be done next, the thesis help tutor knew what to do. I have got an “A†in my master’s dissertation report and now I have assigned them by PhD thesis paper also.

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
