* * Only upload the solution if done using a graphical approach. * * A mixture of diethylamine ( DEA ) and triethylamine ( TEA

**Only upload the solution if done using a graphical approach.**
A mixture of diethylamine (DEA) and triethylamine (TEA) containing 50 mol% of DEA is to be continuously fractionated at a rate of 8700 kg/h and at a total pressure of 113.3 kPa. The top product should have 98% more volatile component and the bottom product 2%. The feed will be 50 mol% vaporized before it enters the tower. A total condenser will be used and the reflux will be returned at the bubble point. Determine () the product rates, kgh; (ii) the minimum reflux ratio; (ii) the number of theoretical trays required at a reflux ratio 1.5 times the minimum and (iv) the location of the feed tray.
According to the equilibrium data given below:
