Chemical Engineering > GATE 2026 > Distillation - McCabe-Thiele Method
A continuous distillation column is used to separate an equimolar mixture of diethylamine (DEA) and methanol. The feed enters the column as saturated liquid at a flow rate of 30 mol sβˆ’1. It is desired to obtain 92 mol% DEA as distillate. The rate of withdrawal of the distillate from the column is 10 mol sβˆ’1. The equilibrium curve for the conditions in the column is given below. The latent heat of vaporization of the reboiler contents is 35 kJ molβˆ’1. Neglect heat loss to the surroundings and assume constant molal overflow. Which one of the following is the minimum reboiler heat duty (in kW)?
A
350
B
700
C
1120
D
1470

Correct : d
