Please solve this include detials. detailsA Distillation column is to be designed to split components shown in feed below to the stream
flows given in the columns for d and b.N-Pentane is the light key and n-hexane is the heavy key.
Feed is saturated liquid, and the flows are in kmols. Temperature for the feed, assumed products
and the relative volatilities for the respective stream are given.
a) Confirm by calculations that bn-butane is expected to be zero for minimum reflux at the
given conditions. Hint: Use underwood equation at minimum reflux and use avg
alpha/mean alpha.
b) What is the minimum number of stages to carry out the specified separation?
c) Write out the equation (All the terms, not the summation notation) that are used to
determine R_min using Shiras method, and insert know values for all variables that would
verify that the Rmin=1.18 and =1.44. You are not expected to solve for any values.
