Ok lets assume that I cant use any simulation software and I have to do the calculations theoretically. What I know right now about the distillation column is the
Tower Feed Mass Flow rate - 26652.715 kg/hr
Entering Temperature (Crude Oil) - 324 C 615 F
Entering Pressure - 20 psig 138 KPa
Steam Entering Pressure - 110 psig 758 KPa
Steam Flow Rate - 189.01 kg/hr
Top Reflux Ratio - 0.72
Top Temperature - 140 C 284 F
Top Pressure - 13 psig 90 KPa
Bottom Temperature - 311 C 592 F
Other Info Known:
Side Draws Temperatures
Side Draws Mass Flow Rates
and API gravities of Entering Crude and the Products.
Now how do I get started? with calculation of Diameter first. The books u told me, am consulting them.
