Mass Balance Table

Composition of the bottoms? We have 45000 kg of bottom


Ethanol = (2750/45000) * 100 % = 6.1 % stream, with 2750 kg being alcohol.
Water = (42250/45000) * 100 % = 93.9 % Therefore, to calculate the alcohol's
composition, you can simply divide
Water= 100 – 6.1 = 93.9
2750 by 45000.

Example 2
 1.5 dm3/h liquid water at a temperature
of 10 °C enters continuously a
humidifier chamber at the same time
as dry air and 15 mol/min dry oxygen
gas all at the same temperature.
 The out flowing gas is found to contain
1 % by mass water.
 Draw the flow sheet for this process
and find out what was the flow rate of
dry air.
