Report must be submitted as per the deadline.

Case:

A mixture containing 45% benzene (b) and 55% toluene (t) by massis fed to a distillation column. an overhead stream of 95 wt% b isproduced, and 8% of the benzene fed to the column leaves in thebottom stream, the feed rate is 2000 kg/h.

ENGINEERING MATERIALS

1. Suggest the Suitable Material to fabricatethe Distillation column.

2. Identify the corrosive behavior of chemicalsto the selected material and calculate the corrosion allowances forthickness of the column.

3. Explain the suitable maintenance procedureinvolved in distillation column.

PROCESS CALCULATION

1. Write the hypothesis for the abovedistillation column calculations.

2. Determine the overhead flow rate and themass flow rates of benzene and toluene in the bottom stream.

3. Draw the flowsheet and investigate therequired output streams.

TECHNICAL MATHEMATICS

Draw the graph for Temperature Vs Vapor pressure Benzene andVapor pressure of toluene.

Vapor pressure data of benzene and toluene

Temperature	Benzene (mmHg)	Toluene(mmHg)
80.1	760	-
85	877	345
90	1016	405
95	1168	475
100	1344	557
105	1532	645

Assume Feed (F) is directly proportional to theDistillate(3 + 4 = 7 Marks)

                       F=f (D)

f (D)= 4D³ 5D² + 2D + 8.

Determine the interval for which the distillate is increases,decreases and constant.

Show that whether the feed F is max, min or neither. Alsodetermine the possible value of F.
