20 kg/min of a mixture at 10 °C containing 20% w/w of ethanol and 80% w/w water is fed to an adiabatic distillation drum operating at 98 kPa. If the heat exchanger before the drum provides a heat load of 280 kW to the mixture, find: A. The composition (mass fraction) of the exiting streams (H-x-y for the system ethanol- water at 98 kPa is presented in previous page of this exam). B. The mass flow rates (kg/min) of the exiting streams.
