In a methanol production plant the distillation column has 9 trays with an efficiency of 75% certified by the vendor. We process a mixture of 45% methanol and the rest water. The distillate has a composition of 97% methanol, and the residue 3% methanol. Calculate the reflux ratio

(L/D) if the feed is saturated liquid and the mixture behavior is assumed to be ideal:
