A distillation column is separating 100.0 kmol/h of a saturated liquid feed that is 30.0 mol% methanol, 25.0 mol% ethanol, 35.0 mol% n-propanol, and 10.0 mol% n-butanol at a pressure of 1.0 atm. The column has a total condenser and a partial reboiler. We want a 986% recovery of n-propanol in the distillate and 99.2% recovery of n-butanol in the bottoms (but realize that this first trial will not provide this amount of separa- tion). Operation is with L/D 5, D = 60, N = 4, and Nfeed-3 (#1 = total condenser, and #4 = partial reboiler). Set up the mass balance matrix Eq. (6-13) for the first trial for n-butanol and then solve. This is a hand calculation a. Use CMO to estimate liquid and vapor flow rates in the column for the first trial. Report these flow rates. b. For a first guess of K values, assume the K values in the column are constant and eqa to those found in a bubble-point calculation for the feed. The K values are (yx)p where yap and xop are from the bubble-point calculation with constant alpha, np Eq. (5-28) in Problem 5.C1. The other K, Knp plete matrix. rates, leaving each stage. c. Calculate all the A, B, C, and D values (but for n-butanol only), and write the com- d. Solve the n-butanol matrix using the Thomas algorithm, and find the n-butanol flow

Two flowing streams of argon gas are adiabatically mixed to form a single flow/stream. one stream is 1.5 kg/s at 400 kpa and 200 c while the second stream is 2kg/s at 500 kpa and 100 ? . it is stated that the exit state of the mixed single flow of argon gas is 150 c and 300 kpa. assuming there is no work output or input during the mixing process, does this process violate either the first or the second law or both? explain and state all your assumptions.
