Assume that the distillation column in Figure 21. 16 is to be operated at the same value

Question:

Assume that the distillation column in Figure 21. 16 is to be operated at the same value of \(L_{0}, D\), and \(B\) and the same feed as the base case.

a. Calculate \(x_{D}, x_{B}\), and the benzene recovery, \(\Gamma\), obtained by introducing the feed at the optimum location.

b. Assuming that the benzene lost in the bottom is valued at \(\$ 0. 20 / \mathrm{lb}\), calculate the savings resulting from locating the feed at the optimum location.
