Design a distillation column to separate a mixture of cyclohexane and toluene with a feed composition of 60 mol% cyclohexane and 40 mol% toluene. The distillate product should contain a minimum of 90 mol% cyclohexane and the bottom product should contain a maximum of 10 mol% cyclohexane. You have access to a temperature range of 80-150°C and a pressure range of 1-5 atm. Determine the number of theoretical plates required for this separation and the corresponding reflux ratio.

Design a chemical reactor for the exothermic reaction A + B -> C, given the following parameters: - The reaction takes place at a temperature of 500°C- The reaction rate constant is 0.05 L/mol/min- The feed stream contains both A and B in equal molar amounts, with a total flow rate of 100 L/min- The desired product, C, should have a concentration of at least 90% in the reactor effluent stream- The reactor should have a residence time of at least 5 minutes. Determine the type of reactor (batch, plug flow, or continuously-stirred tank) and the dimensions (volume, length, diameter) required to achieve the desired product concentration and residence time, assuming an isothermal and well-mixed reactor.

Design a distillation column that can effectively separate a mixture containing 50 wt% methanol and 50 wt% water. The column should produce a distillate with no more than 5 wt% methanol and a bottom product with no more than 2 wt% water. The feed rate is 1000 kg/h and the column must operate at atmospheric pressure. Assume that the feed is a saturated liquid and that the methanol-water mixture behaves as an ideal solution. Provide the design specifications for the column, including the number of trays or packing height, diameter, and other necessary specifications.
