Can anyone tell me how to calculate the quantity of a third
component added in an azeotropic batch distillation of a
known quantity of azeotropic mixture?



Can anyone tell me how to calculate the quantity of a third component added in an azeotropic batch..

Answer / dinesh patil

The quantity is based on solubility of solvent at that
particular thempreture and Pressure.

At room temperture & pressure ,suppose the feed quanity is
as (A = 10 kg, B=15kg, solubility of solvent is 0.150 kg
of B/kg of sovent while that of A is negligible.

Solvent required to extract 15 kg of B = (15/0.150)= 1000
kg.

If we increase the T & / P solubility increase then we have
to take respective solubility value at that particular T
& / P while calculation the solvent.

REACTION ENGINEERING - EXAMPLE 13.1 : In a furnace, 2 chemical reactions are happening - 1 mole of solid carbon reacts with 1 mole of oxygen gas to generate 1 mole of carbon dioxide gas; 1 mole of solid carbon reacts with 0.5 mole of oxygen gas to generate 1 mole of carbon monoxide gas. In a given process, 100 kmol of carbon is burned in a furnace. (a) Calculate the theoretical oxygen gas needed by assuming that all the carbon is burned completely to carbon dioxide gas. (b) Calculate the theoretical air needed by assuming that all the carbon is burned completely to carbon dioxide gas and there is only 21 % of oxygen gas. (c) Determine the amount of air required (in kmol) if 50 % excess oxygen gas must be satisfied for (a) and (b). (d) It has latter been found that 20 % of the carbon undergoes incomplete combustion resulting to carbon monoxide gas production. The rest of the carbon undergoes complete combustion. Calculate the total oxygen gas required stoichiometrically based on the actual process.

ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL ENGINEERING - EXAMPLE 34.27 : A biochemical engineering consultancy applies construction accounting in its finance. Its project began on 1 January 2010. Total revenue generated from the project was $9000. On 1 January 2011 as the budget, $2000 had been spent, with $6000 expected. However, the project cost increased latter, causing deviation from its initial budget on 1 January 2012, where $7000 had been spent, with $1400 expected. Let (estimated total cost) = (spent cost) + (expected cost to be spent), (percentage completion) = 100 (spent cost) / (estimated total costs), (total expected profits) = (total revenue) - (estimated total costs). Calculate : (a) total expected profits on 1 January 2011 and 1 January 2012; (b) estimated total cost as and not as the budget; (c) percentage completion of the project since the project began, in the first and second years.

ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL ENGINEERING - EXAMPLE 34.34 : A biochemical engineering company has stock P = 20,000 shares of M % preferred stock of Q = $100 par and N number of shares of $20 par common stock. In year 1 : $10,000 is distributed as dividend. In year 2 : $25,000 is distributed as dividend. Let (Total Dividend) = (Dividend for Preferred Stock) + (Dividend for Common Stock). (a) In year 1, calculate the amount distributed as dividend for preferred stock, when no dividend was distributed for common stock. (b) In year 2, the amount distributed for common stock was $5000. Find the values of M and N, when the dividend per share for common stock is $0.05.
