Q6) A feed of component A and B containing 55 mole% of A is fed to a distillation tower at a rate of 40 kmol/h, and operating pressure of 1 atm. The feed is at bubble point. The top product A fraction is 0.975. Also not more than 2% of A in the feed should be allowed to leave at bottom. Determine: a) The minimum reflux ratio. b) The number of theoretical plates if actual reflux ratio is 1.4 times the minimum. c) The slopes of the two operating lines.
