Equilibrium Stages Required to

Separate a Propane/Pentane Mixture
1. Introduction
A propane-pentane feed at 10 bar is to be separated in a multistage distillation unit to a
required purity of both components.
This worksheet will calculate the required number of theoretical stages required. Data
describing propane-pentane equilibrium composition is supplied.

2. Equilibrium Data and Required Purity

The following data gives the mole fraction of propane in the liquid and vapour phases in a
propane/pentane mixture at equilibrium at 10 bar.

Required purity of pentane

liq_pent_req := 95%

Required purity of propane

vap_prop_req := 90%

Hence the purity of propane is

liq_prop_req := 100% liq_pent_req

3. Functions Describing the Equilibrium Line

This is a contiuous function which describes the equilibrium line
g( x) := interp ( cspline( xPropLiq , xPropVap) , xPropLiq , xPropVap , x)
