'''Compounds:''' Benzene & Toluene

'''Thermodynamics''': Raoult’s Law

'''Inlet Stream:'''

Flow Rate: 100 Kmol/h

Pressure: 1 atm

Mole Fractions:

Benzene = 0.4, Toluene = 0.6

Method: Fenske-Underwood-Gilliland
|| This problem was solved in the spoken tutorial on '''Shortcut Distillation'''.
|-
|| '''Slide Number 8'''

'''Column Properties '''

Reflux Ratio: 1.4 times minimum reflux ratio.

'''Product:'''

Light: Benzene, Heavy: Toluene

Distillate: XD <nowiki>= 0.99</nowiki>

Bottoms: XB = 0.01
|| These values form the basis for the '''rigorous distillation''' column problem.

|-
|| '''Slide Number 9'''

'''Solution'''

Minimum reflux ratio = 1.655

Minimum number of stages = 11

Actual number of stages = 20

Optimal feed location = 9

Bottoms product rate=60.204 kmol/h
|| This represents the solution of the given problem using '''Shortcut Distillation.'''

We will be using these values shortly.
|-
||
|| Let us begin by replacing the '''Shortcut column''' with a '''Rigorous column'''.
|-
||
|| Let me go back to the '''simulation'''.
|-
|| '''Shortcut column → Delete'''
|| Right-click on the '''Shortcut column, '''and select '''delete'''.

Click '''Yes''' in the prompt box.

|-
|| '''Feed '''>> '''Stage location''' >> '''Stage6.'''

Press '''Enter.'''
|| For '''Feed Port type''', select '''Stage location''' as '''Stage9.'''

Press '''Enter.'''
|-
||
|| This is as per the solution we got in the '''Shortcut Distillation''' column.

We got the '''Optimal Feed Location''' to be''' 9''' from the '''Shortcut''' method'''.'''
|-
|| '''Show slide.'''

Highlight:'''Optimal feed location = 9'''
|| We can see it in the slide.

Let us go back to '''DWSIM'''.
|-
||
|| This completes the connections.
|-
||
|| Now we have to provide the top and bottom specifications.
|-
|| Cursor to '''Column Specs'''
|| Under '''Properties '''tab, locate the section '''Column Specs'''.
|-
|| Click on the '''Condenser''' tab.

Select '''Condenser Type''' as '''Total'''

|| Click on the '''Condenser''' tab.

Select '''Condenser Type''' as '''Total''', if not already selected.

By default, it is '''total condenser'''.

We will leave it as it is.
|-
|| '''Condenser Pressure''' >> '''1 atm'''
|| Change '''Condenser Pressure''' to '''1 atm''' and press '''Enter.'''
|-
|| '''Condenser Pressure drop '''>> '''0'''.
|| Select '''Condenser Pressure drop '''as '''0'''.

By default, it is '''0.'''

We will leave it as it is.
|-
|| '''Specification''' >> '''Reflux Ratio'''
|| Next select the '''Specification''' as '''Reflux Ratio''', if not already selected.

By default, '''Reflux Ratio''' is already selected as '''Specification.'''
|-
|| '''Reflux Ratio''' >> '''2.317'''

|| Select '''Specification''' as '''Product Molar Flow, '''if not already selected.

Under '''Compound''', change the units to '''kmol/h''' and press '''Enter'''.

Now enter the '''Molar flow rate''' as '''60.204'''.

Press '''Enter'''.

This is suggested by the '''shortcut '''solution.

We can see it in the slide.
|-
||
|| Let us go back to DWSIM.
|-
||
|| Now we will also see how to specify the pressure for the intermediate stages.
|-
|| Point to '''Column Configuration''' section
|| Now go to '''Column Configuration''' section.
|-
|| Click on '''Stages''' tab.
|| Click on '''Stages''' tab.
|-
|| Cursor to the '''Condenser''' and '''Reboiler''' value(drag to see Reboiler)

Point to the zero assigned '''Pressure'''

|| It shows the '''condenser''' and '''reboiler pressures '''as '''1 '''and''' 1.1 atmosphere.'''

New stages that have been added, are assigned zero pressure, which is incorrect.

We would like the intermediate stage pressures to take the interpolated values.
|-
||Click on the '''Estimate Stage Pressures by Interpolation'''

Point to the '''Pressure''' values

Cursor to the '''Efficiency''' column
|| Under '''Column Configuration''' section, go to the extreme left.

Here we can see 5 different icons.

Hover the mouse to the last icon.

A popup is displayed as '''Estimate Stage Pressures by Interpolation'''.

Click on the icon.

Immediately, linearly interpolated values are assigned to every stage.

We can also edit the pressure of the individual stages, if they are known.

We may also change the efficiency in one or more stages.
|-
||
|| Now we will run the '''simulation'''.
|-
