Re: A column to separate an Acetone-Methanol mixture
The objective of the project was to optimize the design of a column used to process a supply stream containing 35 percent acetone at 30oC. The optimized design should turn out a distillate product containing 0.75 mole fraction of acetone and 0.0010 fraction of bottoms acetone. The outcome of the experiment produced a distillate product containing 0.0079 molar fraction of acetone.
The molar fraction of acetone in the first inlet stream was determined to be 0.14 lbmol/min. Also, the total flow rate of the second inlet stream and the total gas flow rate were determined to be 61.84 lbmoles/min ...
