Q

Wine making involves a series of very complex reactions most of
which are performed by microorganisms. The starting
concentration of sugars determines the final alcohol content and
sweetness of the wine. The specific gravity of the starting stock
is therefore adjusted to achieve desired quality of wine. A starting
stock solution has a specific gravity of 1.075 and contains 12.7
wt% sugar. If all the sugar is assumed to be C12H22O11, determine

Q

An equimolar liquid mixture of benzene and toluene is separated
into two product streams by distillation. A process flowchart and
a somewhat oversimplified description of what happens in the
process follow:

Inside the column a liquid stream flows downward and a vapor
stream rises. At each point in the column some of the liquid
vaporizes and some of the vapor condenses. The vapor leaving
the top of the column, which contains 97 mole% benzene, is
completely condensed and split into two equal fractions: one is
taken off as the overhead product stream, and the other (the
reflux) is recycled to the top of the column. The overhead product
stream contains 89.2% of the benzene fed to the column. The
liquid leaving the bottom of the column is fed to a partial reboiler
in which 45% of it is vaporized. The vapor generated in the
reboiler (the boil-up) is recycled to become the rising vapor
stream in the column, and the residual reboiler liquid is taken off
as the bottom product stream. The compositions of the streams
leaving the reboiler are governed by the relation:
yB (1-yB)
xB (1-xB) = 2.25

where and are the mole fractions of benzene in the vapor and
liquid streams, respectively. Take a basis of 100 mol fed to the
column, determine the following:

Q

Fresh orange juice contains 12.0 wt% solids and the balance
water, and the concentrated orange juice contains 42.0 wt%

process overcomes this problem by bypassing the evaporator
with a fraction of the fresh juice. The juice is concentrated to 58
wt% solids, and the evaporator product stream is mixed with the
bypassed fresh juice to achieve the desired final concentration.
