Determine the number of theoretical stages required and the optimal-stage locations for the feed and liquid side

Question:

Determine the number of theoretical stages required and the optimal-stage locations for the feed and liquid side stream for the distillation process shown in Figure 7.43 assuming that methanol (M) and ethanol (E) form an ideal solution.


Distillate 96 mol% M L/D = 1.2 (L/D) min 25 mol% vaporized 1 atm kgmol/h 75 15 kgmol/h 80 mol% E Liquid side stream 25 1
