A steady state distillation process is shown diagrammatically as
FIGURE 1.
Assuming no heat losses to the atmosphere:
(i) Write four balanced equations for this system.
(ii) Identify where any constitutive equations may be required for the
modelling processes.There are two states that I can think of that need balancing.
mass and energy balances
mass in = mass out + accumulation
energy in = energy out + accumulation
I am not overly sure how this becomes 4 but
this is my idea is
Mass x in = mass x out + accumulation
Mass y in = mass y out + accumulation
energy in = energy out Top + accumulation
energy in = energy out Bottom + accumulation
Any help would be appreciated, and I am stuck with the constitutive equations.
Thanks
Ross
