Question:

The liquid leaving the flash tank in the converter loop is fed to a distillation column in which specification-grade methanol is produced. The column is designed to recover 95% of the methanol in an overhead stream that is 99.85 wt% methanol. The remaining methanol and water leave the distillation column in a bottom stream. Estimate the flow rates of the overhead and bottom streams (kmol/h and kg/h) and the composition (mole fractions) of the bottom stream.
