    This document contains two multi-part chemistry problems involving distillation column design and analysis. The first problem involves designing a distillation column to separate a 50/50 methanol/water mixture with 98% methanol overhead and 3% methanol bottoms, given various parameters like vapor/liquid ratio and reflux ratio. The second problem involves designing a column to enrich an ethanol/water mixture to 90% ethanol overhead and 6% ethanol bottoms, and calculating amounts, number of stages, and heat duties.

    Quiz No. 2 PART II

    1. A plant must distill a mixture containing 50 mol% methanol and 50 mol% water. The overhead
    product is to containg 98 mol% methanol and the bottom product 3 mol % methanol. The feed is
    a saturated mixture of vapor and liquid containing 30% vapor. The reflux ratio is twice the
    minimum. Calculate (a) the minimum number of plates of by graphical method and by Fenske
    equation. (b) the equilibrium no. of stages using a partial condenser and instead of a reboiler
    steam is injected directly at the bottom of the column as source of heat.(c) the number of plates
    using a total total condenser assuming a Murphree efficiency of 72%.

    2. A mixture of 35 weight % ethanol and 65 weight % water which is to be enriched as a top


    product with 90 weight % ethanol. The bottom product contain 6 weight % ethanol. The
    feed enters the column at 40oC at a rate of 5000 kg/hr. The reflux ratio is 1.0. Determine
    (a) the amounts of distillate and bottoms (b) the no. of theoretical trays required by
    Ponchon-Savarit method (c) the heat duty of the condenser and reboiler in BTU/hr
