Question: ( 5 0 p ) An equimolar saturated liquid - saturated vapor mixture containing 3 5 % A , 6 5 % B in moles

(50p) An equimolar saturated liquid-saturated vapor mixture containing 35%A,65%B in moles at a flow rate of 100kmolh will be separated by distillation. It is desired that 93% of A is present in the top product and 96% of the A entering the column is in the top product. If the reflux ratio in the column is 4 and the relative volatility AB=2, determine the given below;
a) Theoretical number of plates and feed plate (20p)
b) Top and bottom product flow rates (10p)
c) Minimum reflux ratio (10p)
d) Minimum number of plates (10p)
 (50p) An equimolar saturated liquid-saturated vapor mixture containing 35%A,65%B in moles
