1) Consider the distillation-membrane hybrid example discussed in class. One of your classmates developed an improved membrane system for this application. The new membrane parameters are m=90 and =0.50. Applying this system of membranes to the separation of ethanol and water mixture ( 37mol% ethanol, 100mol/s, saturated liquid) to produce products of 99mol% ethanol in the distillate and 1mol% in the residue, calculate the new number of ideal stages required in the column and the location of the retentate feed (saturated liquid) and fresh feed to the column
