Semi-Batch Distillation - Distillation Period Equations Solving with Polymath the “controlled integration technique” is used for adjusting the temperature to follow the bubble point curve where

Semi-Batch Distillation - Heating Period Equations Mass balance on the water phase yields Stopping Criterion "Semi-Batch Steam Distillation of a Binary Organic Mixture ", Chem. Vary the feed concentration in the range where the requirement for the n-octane concentration in the distillate is attainable. Compute the percent recovery of n-octane in the distillate as function of its concentration in the feed. Determine the lowest n-octane mole fraction in the feed that can yield a distillate concentration of 90% of n-octane. Semi-Batch Distillation - Problem Statement The ambient pressure is P = 9.839E+04 Pa. The ambient temperature is TE = 25 ☌ and the heat transfer coefficient between the still and the surrounding is U = 1.05 J/s-K. All the steam is assumed to condense during the heating period. Starting at time t = 0, steam at a temperature Tsteam = 99.2 ☌ is bubbled continuously through the organic phase at the rate of MS= 3.85e-5 kmol/s. The initial temperature in the still is T0 = 25 ☌. Initially M = 0.015 kmol of organics with composition x1 = 0.725 is charged into the still. The data provided by Ingham et al.are the following. Semi-Batch Distillation - Problem Statement Consider the semi-batch steam distillation of an n-octane (comp.
