A binary mixture has equilibrium curve as:

y=2.5(x)/(1+1.5x)

. The feed is saturated liquid, light component takes

40mol%

. If we want the top product to have

99mol%

light componen the minimum reflux ratio?\ Step 1 ( 5 pts): Sketch the equilibrium curve on the McCabe-Thiele diagram.\ Step 2 (10 pts): Locate the feed point and sketch the feed line on the diagram. Note how the feed line should be oriented for saturated liquid feed.\ Step 3 (10 pts): Locate the product point and sketch the rectifying section operating line (ROL). Note how the ROL should be positioned for minimum reflux.\ Step 4 (20 pts): Determine the minimum reflux ratio.
