A distillation column at 101 kPa is used to separate 350 kmol/h of a bubble point mixture of toluene and benzene into an overhead product with 3 mole % toluene and a bottoms product with 98 mole % toluene. The feed contains 0.45 mole fraction benzene. The overhead reflux occurs at saturation temperature (implies it is total condenser – if it was not, you would have a vapor liquid mixture or a partial condenser akin to a partial reboiler). VLE data for the mixture is given below. An average alpha can be found from the VLE data if solving analytically. EQUILIBRIUM DATA IN MOLE- FRACTION BENZENE, 101 kPA

The flow rate of air through a through a pipe is 0.02 m5/s. a pitot static tube is placed in the flow. the radius of the pitot static tube is 1 mm. assuming the flow to be steady and the air to be at 300k, calculate the difference in total and static pressure if the diameter of the pipe is: (a) d 0.1 m d 0.05 m (c) d 0.01 m
