UNIT OPERATION - EXAMPLE 9.3 : In the distillation of binary systems by Mc Cabe Thiele method, the equation for the line of top section is given by y = [ R / (R + 1) ] x + XD / (R + 1). 2 points on the line are (0.99, 0.99) and (0, 0.36). Find the reflux ratio of R and XD.
Answer Posted / kangchuentat
UNIT OPERATION - ANSWER 9.3 : The slope is given by R / (R + 1) = (0.99 - 0.36) / 0.99 = 0.6363. Rearranging the equation gives R = 0.6363 / (1 - 0.6363) = 1.7495. Choose the point (0, 0.36) as reference, 0.36 = XD / (R + 1), XD = 0.36 (R + 1) = 0.36 (1.7495 + 1) = 0.9898.
