Comparison of Differential and Flash Distillation
A mixture of 100 kg mol which contains 60 mol % n-pentane (A) and 40 mol % n-
heptane (B) is vaporized at 101.32 kPa pressure under differential conditions
until 40 kg mol are distilled. Use equilibrium data from Example 11.3-2.
a) What is the average composition of the total vapor distilled and the
composition of the liquid left?
b) If this same vaporization is done in an equilibrium or flash distillation and
40 kg mol are distilled, what is the composition of the vapor distilled and
of the liquid left?

Hasil trial ke 1 belum mendekati luasan 0,5108,oleh karena itu dilakukan trial
ulang.
