Question: Determine the optimal-stage location for each feed and the number of theoretical stages required for the distillation separation shown in Figure 7.42 using the following

Determine the optimal-stage location for each feed and the number of theoretical stages required for the distillation separation shown in Figure 7.42 using the following equilibrium data in mole fractions.

cw Distillate 98 mol% water L/D = 1.2(L/D)min Feed 1, bubble-point liquid kgmol/h 75 1 atm A 25 100 Feed 2, 50 mole % vacw Distillate 98 mol% water L/D = 1.2(L/D)min Feed 1, bubble-point liquid

cw Distillate 98 mol% water L/D = 1.2(L/D)min Feed 1, bubble-point liquid kgmol/h 75 1 atm A 25 100 Feed 2, 50 mole % vaporized kgmol/h 50 A 100 Bottoms 95 mol% acetic acid Steam Figure 7.42 Data for Exercise 7.35.
