Question 1 A distillation column is separating an ethanol (C₂H5OH)-water mixture at 1 atm. The feed is 50 mol% ethanol and feed rate is 1000 kmol/hr. The feed is saturated vapor. A distillate composition of 80 mol% ethanol and a bottoms composition of 2 mol % ethanol are design. A reflux ratio of 3 is to be used. The reflux is saturated liquid. (a) Determine the top and bottom product rates. (b) Determine the minimum reflux ratio graphically. (c) Determine the feed stage location and the number of theoretical stages graphically.
