(b) Flow pattern on the trays is also an important design parameter for distillation
columns. With an appropriate diagram, demonstrate the selection guide of flow pattern
for sieve trays. (7)
(c) Rationalize how the single assumption that "solutes are independent of each other" can
specify more than one degree of freedom for muitisolute absorption and stripping process. (7)
(d) When Eo > R1 the difference point is on the left-side of the right triangular
equilibrium diagram; and when Rj > Eo the difference point is on the right of the
diagram. What happens when Rl = Eo? Answer this question using a logical argument. (7)

(c) A stripping tower with four equilibrium stages is being used to remove ammonia from
waste water using air as the stripping agent. Operation is at 80°F and 1 atm. The inlet air
is pure air, and the inlet water contains 0.02 mole fraction ammonia. The column operates
at LN = 0.65. Equilibrium data in mole fraction are given as y = 1.4l4x. Determine the
outlet concentrations . (17)

.3. (a) Selection of a proper solvent is very important for the development of an economical
extraction system. State solvent-selection criteria for an extraction system. (7)

1500 kg/h. A simple countercurrent extractor will be used with 750 kg/h of pure heptane
as solvent. We desire a 99% recovery of the oleic acid in the extract products. The
equilibrium distribution constant, Kt for the given condition are 2.17 and 4.14 for linoleic
and oleic acids, respectively. Find the required number of stages, N and the recovery of

ethanol and is at -20°C. Feed flow rate is 2000 kglb. We desire a distillate concentration
of 80 wt% ethanol and a bottom composition of 5 wt% ethanol. A total reboiler is used,
