For the conditions of Exercise 9.7, with bubble-point liquid feed at column pressure, compute the minimum external reflux and nonkey distribution at Rmin by the Class 2 Underwood equations.
Data From Exercise 9.7
For the distillation in Figure 9.23, calculate Nmin and the distribution of the nonkey components by the Fenske equation, using Figures 2.4 and 2.5 for K-values.
