Design a distillation column to separate a mixture of ethanol and water. The feed stream contains 20 mol% ethanol and the desired distillate should contain at least 95 mol% ethanol. The reflux ratio should be 3:1 and the column should have 25 theoretical trays. Determine the composition of the distillate, bottoms, and the optimal feed tray location to achieve the desired separation. Use McCabe-Thiele method to determine the number of theoretical trays required.

Design a heat exchanger for the production of sulfuric acid at a flow rate of 1000 liters per hour. The inlet temperature of the acid is 80°C and the desired outlet temperature is 30°C. The cooling water is available at 20°C and has a flow rate of 2000 liters per hour. Determine the required heat transfer area of the heat exchanger assuming the overall heat transfer coefficient is 800 W/(m²K). What material would you recommend for the heat exchanger tubes and why?

Design a heat exchanger for a process where hot air (80°C) needs to be cooled down to 30°C using water (10°C) as the cooling medium. The flow rate of hot air is 2 kg/s and the desired outlet temperature of the cooled air is 35°C. The maximum allowable pressure drop for air side is 50 kPa and for water side is 100 kPa. Design the heat exchanger using the LMTD (logarithmic mean temperature difference) method and calculate the required area of heat transfer.

Here's a precise problem for a chemistry student to solve related to designing a heat exchanger for a specific process:A chemical plant produces a product with a flow rate of 500 liters per hour, and it needs to be cooled from its initial temperature of 120°C to its final temperature of 80°C before it can be packaged for shipment. The cooling medium that will be used is water, which is available at a flow rate of 400 liters per hour and an initial temperature of 20°C. Design a heat exchanger to cool the product and determine the required surface area of the heat exchanger if the overall heat transfer coefficient is 500 W/m2K.

Design a distillation column to separate a mixture that contains 40% ethanol and 60% water by weight with a desired ethanol purity of 95%. The feed rate of the mixture is 100 kg/hr and the reflux ratio is 3:1. Determine the number of theoretical plates required and the height of the column. Assume that the total condenser and reboiler are both at 100°C and that the distillate leaving the column is 90% liquid and 10% vapor.
