Can someon please help me solve this problem step by step?
Q2) A plate column will be designed to rectify a binary mixture. The feed which is a mixture of liquid and vapor will be introduced to the column at a flow rate of 85kmolh. It contains 35mole% light key component at the feed and the q value is 0.62. If the fractional recovery of the light key component is 97% and the mole fraction of light key in the distillate stream is 0.96, calculate:
a) Total number of theoretical stages and the optimum location of the feed tray
b)Rmin
c) Condenser and reboiler loads
(Note: Use Below Figure, R=1.3'Rmin, take average latent heat as 104kJmol)
