1. We wish to separate benzene from toluene in a distillation column with a total condenser and a partial reboiler. First feed flowrate is100kmole/hr, which is50%benzene and is saturated vapour. Second feed flowrate is200kmole/hr, which is40%toluene. Second Feed is saturated liquid. We desire a bottom product that is95%toluene and a distillate product that is90%benzene. The reflux is saturated liquid. Column is well insulated. Find the reflux ratio ifQRis1.40107 kJ/hr. Hints: Use data given in the enthalpy-composition diagram provided.
