Find a vacuum distillation calculation problem
Thread Content
The system contains 500 kg of non-volatile substances, 600 kg of propanol, and 1400 kg of water. It is intended to slowly reduce the absolute pressure from 20 kPa to 6 kPa in order to vaporize the water and propanol. The heating temperature of the system is 40 degrees Celsius. A condenser is connected to the outlet of the distillation vessel, with a vacuum pump connected to the rear end of the condenser. I would like to know what capacity the vacuum pump should have and what heat exchange area is appropriate for the heat exchanger. Could someone please explain how to calculate these values? It would be great if a calculation procedure could also be provided
This should be able to be simulated using software quickly and easily; go ask for help in the software section
Can’t calculate:D:D:D:D
Thank you; I asked an expert and it suddenly made sense to me :P

Has the original poster resolved the issue? May I ask?
