We are separating ethanol and water. All percentages are mol%. Find the q values and plot the feed lines. a) Feed is 60% ethanol and flashes in the column with v/f=0.37 b)Feed is 40% ethanol and is a two-phase mixture with liquid and vapor in equilibrium at a temperature of 84.1 degrees celcius c)Feed is 40% ethanol and is a liquid at 20 degrees Celsius d)Feed is 40% ethanol and is a vapor at 120 degrees Celsius e)Feed is 50% ethanol and is a sub cooled liquid. One mole vapor must be condensed to heat 12 moles of feed to their boiling point f)Feed is 20% ethanol and 70% is vaporized in a flash distillation system. The products of the flash system are fed to distillation column. Calculate the two q values and plot the two feed lines.
