Question: ( 2 0 pts ) A distillation column has a feed stream containing three components, i , j , and k , and three exit

(20 pts) A distillation column has a feed stream containing three components, i,j, and k, and three exit streams (distillate, side stream, and bottoms). The distillate contains only i and j components, while the bottoms product contains only j and k components. The side stream contains all three components. Draw and label column showing the flow rates (F, D, S, and B) and their respective mass fraction compositions (i.e.,xDj). Perform an overall mass balance and a component balance for component, j. In algebraic form, solve for xDj.
