Question

You are a process engineer and have been assigned to design a distillation column to separate methanol from methanol-water. You know that before attempting the distillation column design it is good idea to determine the properties of the mixture accurately. Perform the following thermodynamic analysis and submit your report The report should include following a. An executive summary (1 page maximum). b. Documentation on all equations, calculations, methods, results: i. Tx-y experimental data. ii. T-x-y from Aspen Plus using Peng Robinson EOS Ill. y-x diagram from experimental data iv. y-x from Aspen Plus using Peng Robinson EOS v. Their comparison on a single figure vi. Do they form azeotrope? If yes, what is the composition

Explanation / Answer

This question needs some time to be answered. It needs extensive reading and writing. Also it needs experimentation. I will guide about the experiment planning but cant perform the experiments personally because of the lack of infrasturcture.
