Question

2- A continuous fractionating column, operating at atmospheric pressure, is to be designed to separate a mixture containing 15.67 per cent CS,and 84.33 per cent CCI, into an overhead product

containing 91 per cent CS, and a waste of 97.3 per cent CCI, all by mass. A plate efficiency of 70 per cent and a reflux of 3.16kmol/kmol of product may be assumed. Using the following data, determine the number of plates required. The feed enters at 290 K with a specific heat capacity C, of 1.7 kJ/kgK and a boiling point of 336 K. The latent heats of CS, and CCI,are 25.9 kJ/kmol.
