PLEASE READ THE QUESTION. IT ASKS FOR CONDENSER AND REBOILER HEAT DUTY Qc and Qr. I'll downvote if you spam. We wish to separate a mixture of Ethanol (C2H5OH) and Water in a counter-current, staged distillation column operating at steady-state and at 1 atm. The feed is a two-phase flow at 100 kg/min. The feed comprises of 8.91 mol% Ethanol and flows at 93 oC. The desired distillate composition (xD) is 80.0 wt% and the bottom composition (xB) is 1 wt% Ethanol. The column has a total condenser and partial reboiler and the reflux ratio (R= Lo/D) is 3.0. Find QC, QR
