85.5 kg/ h
yCN+1 = 1.00
V2
V1 VN+1
SLE 1 SLE 2 N
L0 LN
L1
250 kg/ h xAN = 0.08
xA0 = 0.38
xB0 = 0.62
REQUIRED:
Total balance:
L0 + VN+1 = LN + V1
where: ∑ = LN + V1
L0 + VN+1 = ∑
250 + 85.5 = ∑
∑ = 335.5 kg/h
SOLUTION (cont.):
xA∑ = 0.28
VN+1
V1
LN L0
From the graph:
YA1 = 0.44
Equation 1:
∑ = LN + V1
335.5 kg/hr = LN + V1
Equation 2:
Acetone balance in the Leaving streams
V1 = 186.39kg/hr
LN = 149.11kg/hr
FINAL ANSWERS:
