Feed Line equation

Since the feed line condition is not given in the question, we must calculate its q-line first. According to Mc-Graw Hill International Edition, page 679 The value of q for cold-liquid feed is found from the equation ....eq.9 For superheated vapor the equation is ......eq.10 Where , , = specific heats of liquid and vapor, respectively = temperature of feed = bubble point and dew point of feed, respectively = heat of vaporization

Find heat capacity of mixture (Staveley, Tupman, et al., 1955) (Shehatta, 1993) Note that molar fraction of feed is 0.274 for 0.274(74.89) + 0.726(131.3) = 115.84 Find heat of vaporization of mixture and 0.726 for

= 0.274(26.8) + 0.726(30.0) = 29.12

Find boiling point of mixture By referring to the properties table in Elementary Principles of Chemical Process,

From these two boiling points of

and

, we know that the boiling point of the mixture

must be between these two values so we make first assumption for the mixtures boiling point to be at 70 . This step will then be repeated with different values of temperature to get the

accurate value of boiling point for this mixture before we proceed. We are using Antoine equation to find the boiling point of mixture. Antoine Equation Parameters are presented as below for and

Antoine Equation; ..eq.11 For

For

By using Daltons and Raoults Law to determine the bubble point. The vapor molar fraction at 70 can be determined by combining both equations ..eq.12 For

For

, which is close to 1 thus our assumptions for the bubble temperature to be at 70 can apply. Now that we get the boiling point temperature for the mixture, we can determine the value of q.

Thus, the feed line equation is eq.13
