Question: 4 Y 8 . Ponchon - Savarit ( Prob . 1 3 - 2 in Luyben, Chemical Process Analysis ) Using the enthalpy - composition

4Y8. Ponchon-Savarit (Prob.13-2 in Luyben, Chemical Process Analysis) Using the enthalpy-composition diagram given in the diagram provided below for the methanol-water system, calculate the number of stages required and the feed plate location to produce 98 weight percent methanol liquid product and 5 percent methanol bottoms product from a feed of 45 weight percent methanol entering the column at 50C. The column has a total condenser and a partial rehoiler, and operates at 1.5 times minimum reflux. What is the reboiler heat duty in Btu/hr if the feed rate is 5,000lbmhr? What is the condenser duty?
