Using excel, design a distillation column simulator that operates with a total condenser with reflux, as well as a reboiler for the binary acetone-water separation. Your submission must be both an excel simulator and word explanations on how the simulator works as you change some variables for optimization. State all assumptions & choices made and indicate the necessary justifications.
This is a Chemical Engineering assignment on Separations. It requires an Excel simulator and an explanation of how the simulator works.
I asked my prof earlier if we’re allowed to change the feed temperature on our optimization. I just received a response and she says that we are free to change the feed T too or leave it constant. We just need to state our assumptions on the simulator. In short, please feel free to vary feed temperature if you find it necessary to do so. Thanks.
