An equimolar liquid mixture of benzene an toluene is separated into two product streams by distillation. inside the column a liquid stream flows downward and a vapor stream rises. at each point in the column some of the liquid vaporizes and some of the vapor condenses. the vapor leaving the top of the column, which contains 97mol% benzene, is completely condensed and split into two equal fractions: one is taken off as the overhead product stream, and the other (the reflux) is recycled to the top of the column. the overhead product stream contains 89.2% of the benzene fed to the column. the liquid leaving the bottom of the column is fed to a partial reboiler in which 45% of it is vaporized. the vapor generated in the reboiler (the boilup) is recycled to become the rising vapor stream in the column, and the residual reboiler liquid is taken off as the bottom product stream. the compositions of the streams leaving the reboiler are governed by the relation: (yb/(1-yb))/(xb/(1-xb))=2.25 where yb and xb are the mole fractions of benzene in the vapor and liquid streams, respectively. draw and completely label the flowchart and do a degree of freedom analysis for each of the four systems (overall process, column, condenser, and reboiler), then write the equations used to solve the molar amounts of the overhead and bottoms products, the mole fraction of benzene in the bottoms product, and the percent recovery of toluene in the bottoms product.

Tom is having a problem with his washing machine. he notices that the machine vibrates violently at a frequency of 1500 rpm due to an unknown rotating unbalance. the machine is mounted on 4 springs each having a stiffness of 10 kn/m. tom wishes to add an undamped vibration absorber attached by a spring under the machine the machine working frequency ranges between 800 rpm to 2000 rpm and its total mass while loaded is assumed to be 80 kg a) what should be the mass of the absorber added to the machine so that the natural frequency falls outside the working range? b) after a first trial of an absorber using a mass of 35 kg, the amplitude of the oscillation was found to be 10 cm. what is the value of the rotating unbalance? c) using me-3.5 kg.m, find the optimal absorber (by minimizing its mass). what would be the amplitude of the oscillation of the absorber?
