A bubble-point mixture of 100 kmol/h of methanol, 50 kmol/h of isopropanol, and 100 kmol/h of water

Question:

A bubble-point mixture of 100 kmol/h of methanol, 50 kmol/h of isopropanol, and 100 kmol/h of water at 1 atm is sent to the 25th tray from the top of a 40-sieve-tray column equipped with a total condenser and partial reboiler, operating at a nominal pressure of 1 atm. If the reflux ratio is 5 and the bottoms flow rate is 150 kmol/h, determine the separation achieved if the UNIFAC method is used to estimate K-values and the Chan-Fair correlations are used for mass transfer. Assume that both phases are perfectly mixed on each tray and that operation is at about 80% of flooding.
