Multicomponent distillation 1) Mass balances The feed flowrate is 350 kmols hr-1 and the feed composition is known: 48 mol% propene‚ 50 mol% propane and 2 mol% butane. The distillate stream composition: 99.9 mol% propene and 0.1 mol% propane. The bottom product stream contains 0.5 mol% propene but the mole fractions of propane and butane are unknown. Therefore‚ mass balances are carried out around the distillate column. Overall mass balance: F=D+B Component mass balance for propene: xFF=yDD+xBB
