a. Estimate the maximum value of benzene recovery for the base case \(\left(z_{F}=0.321ight)\).

b. Give several reasons for operating the current column at less than maximum benzene recovery.

c. Plot a performance curve that shows estimated values for \(F, L_{0}\), and \(V_{1}\) at maximum benzene recovery as a function of feed composition.
