One thousand kilograms per hour of a mixture of benzene (B) and toluene(T) that contains 50% benzene by mass are seperated by distillation into two fractions. The mass flow rate of benzene in the top stream is 450 kg B/h, and that of toluene in the bottom stream is 475 kg T/h. The operation is at steady state. Write balances on benzene and toluene to calculate the unknown component flow rates in the output streams. Ftotal = Fbottoms + Fbottoms 1000 = Fbottoms + 525 Fbottoms = 1000 - 525 = 475 kg/h.
Now, only one equation to go! Ftotal, toluene = Foverhead, toluene + Fbottoms,toluene Where should we click next to use this last equation? (Only one choice here!) |
