Description
Develop a flowsheet in Aspen Plus to simulate the following process.
A feed stream (saturated liquid at p atm) containing an equimolar mixture of acetone, ethanol,
butanol, and phenol is distilled at p atm.
Determine:
1. The concentrations of the distillate and bottoms streams
2. Vapor and liquid composition profiles along the column
Some specifications:
1. Use the UNIQUAC thermodynamic model
2. Distillation column has 9 trays, with the feed entering at the top of the 5th tray; Total
distillate flow is ½ the inlet flow and reflux ratio is 5
3. If your roll number is CH18Bxyz, then p = 1 + x.yz. So for CH18B056, p =1.56 atm; for
CH17B123, p=2.23 atm

1. One page report in pdf format showing the flowsheet, mass balance and vapor and liquid
composition profiles along the column
2. Aspen Plus file (named as per your Roll Number)
