Question details

Linear Algebra and Material balance

2) X ylene, styrene, toluene and benzene are to be separated using three distillation columns as shown on the following page. The feed flow is 1000 kg-mole/sec with the initial composition given. (a) For material balances around each column and also a material balance considering all columns together determine appropriate matrix algebra descriptions, e.g. Ax-b based on component balances (b) Solve an appropriate linear algebra description by calculating an inverse matrix in order to determine the unknown flowrates Dı, Bi, D2 and B2. Note: Your solution should be done by hand and may also be confirmed using other (computational) tools, eg. Matlab, Excel, or another application. (c) Determine mo lar flowr rates and compositions of streams D and B. l of 2
