    Construct the following diagrams at 1 atmosphere:
    a- A temperature-composition diagram
    b- An x-y diagram
    c- Relative volatility against mole fraction of toluene In liquid

    3- 100 moles of al liquid mixture containing 50% Benzene, 25% Toluene and 25% o-Xylene is
    flash vaporised at 1 atmosphere and 100 o C. Find the bubble and dew points of the mixture and
    also compute the amount of liquid and vapour and their compositions.

    4- 100 Kmoles of a mixture of A and B is fed to a simple still. The feed contains 50 mole % A and a
    product contains 5 mole % A is required. Calculate the quantity of product obtained. The
    equilibrium data is presented as follows:
    Mole fraction of A in liquid 0 0.2 0.4 0.6 0.8 1
    Mole fraction of A in vapour 0 0.35 0.58 0.75 0.9 1

    5- A liquid containing 50% n-heptane and 50% n-octane is differentially distilled at 1 atmosphere to
    vaporise 60 mole% of feed. Find the composition of the distillate and the residue. Find the
    boiling range during distillation. (The average volatility=2.15)

    6- A liquid containing 50% Benzene (A), 25% Toluene (B), 25% o-xylene (C), is flash vaporized
    at 1 std atm and 100o C. Compute the amounts of liquid and vapour products and their
    compositions.

    7- Calculate the product compositions and flow rates ( liquid and vapour ) from a flash tank with
    feed of the following specifications:
    Component Methane Ethane Propane Butane Pentane Hexane heptane
    xf 0.3396 0.0646 0.0987 0.0434 0.032 0.03 0.3917

    The flash unit operates at 40o F and 35 Psi.


    Use the charts to get the k values for the seven components.

    8- 10 Kg batch of ethylaniline is to be steam distilled from small amount of non-volatile impurity.


    Saturated steam at 25 Psia is used. Initial temperature of ethylaniline is 40 oC and the
    distillation takes place at atmospheric pressure.
    a- At what temperature will the distillation proceeds?
    b- Determine the composition of the vapour phase.
    c- How much steam is used?

    Data:
     Heat capacity of ethylaniline is 0.4 KCal/Kg.C
     Heat capacity of steam is 0.35 KCal/Kg.C
     Latent heat of vaporization of ethylaniline is 72 Kcal/lb
     Vapour pressures of water and ethyl aniline are given in the table below:

    T (o C) 38.5 64.4 80.6 96 99.15 113.2


    Pw (mmHg) 51.1 199.7 363.9 657.6 737.2 1225
