Acetone is used in the manufacture of many chemicals and solvents. You are required to separate acetone from water by distillation. This continuous steady-state process involves separation and mixing processes. The flow rate of the acetone-water mixture going into the distillation column is 100kg/h with equal composition. The output, vapor stream contains 90% acetone with flow rate of 40 kg/s. The liquid stream is then mixed with another acetone-water mixture which flow rate 30 kg/h and contains only 30% acetone. Finally, the output stream from mixing process undergoes distillation process again where the vapor stream contain 90% acetone with 0.35 kg/h.

Draw the flow chart of the processes.
