Solve Exercise 8.11 with a right-triangle diagram.

In Exercise 8.11

One thousand kilograms per hour of a 45 wt% acetone in- water solution is to be extracted at 25?C in a Continuous, countercurrent system with pure 1,1 ,2-trichloroethane to obtain a raffinate containing 10 wt% acetone. Using the following equilibrium data, determine with an equilateral-triangle diagram:

(a) The minimum flow rate of solvent,

(b) The number of stages required for a solvent rate equal to 1.5 times the minimum, and

(c) The flow rate and composition of each stream leaving each stage.
