(y � x)Relates time rate of change of x to time rate of change of W.
W dx = dW (y � x)Relates change in x to change in W.
No connection to time evolution. Think “projectile trajectory.”
Sometimes this is referred to as “phase
space” or “state space”

Example: Constant BoilupSHR Example 13.1
It is easier to solve for W(x) than x(W)...
How do we connect W and x to t?
A batch still is loaded with 100 kmol of a binary mixture of 50 mol% benzene in toluene. As a function of time, make plots of:
(a) still temperature, (b) instantaneous vapor composition, (c) still-pot composition, and (d) average total-distillate composition.
Assume a constant boilup rate, 10 kmol/h of product, and a constant α of 2.41 at a pressure of 101.3 kPa (1 atm).

x decreases in time from 0.5.
Different approach to get this term. Otherwise it is the same as the last example.

Batch Distillation with Constant Reflux Ratio
Assumptions: • McCabe-Thiele analysis (see notes on binary
distillation)
• Total condenser
• Constant molar overflow
• Only heat transfer is in condenser and reboiler (not in the rectifying section)
• Constant V and R (implies constant L and D)
SHR §13.2.1
xD is a nontrivial function of xW, depending on # stages, reflux ratio, equilibrium, etc.
That means that this integral is not easy to get!

came from the mole balance (see slide 2)
Concept: • Use McCabe-Thiele to get the relationship between xD and xW. • Given the graphically-obtained integrand, carry out the
integration to find W(xW). • Choose xW - find W - find t.

1.Choose xW.
2. Construct an operating line with the prescribed R such that in Nt stages, we hit the intersection of the operating line and the 45º line. This defines xD for the xW chosen in step 1.
3. Repeat steps 1-2 for the desired range of xW, choosing “enough” points to do step 4.
4. Numerically integrate (trapezoid rule) to find ln(W/W0).
5. From W, find t. t =W0 �W

Batch Distillation with Constant xD Idea: constant V and vary R in time to obtain a desired xD.
• More difficult than constant R, but typically more desirable.
• Implies that D is changing in time.
