(50 points) A mixture of compounds A and B are being separated using the combined extraction
and distillation system depicted below.
100molhr of the A and B mixture enters in stream 1 with a mol fraction of A of 0.824
Pure C enters in stream 2 and combines with a recycle stream before entering the extractor
(stream 3)
All of the A exits the extractor in stream 4.
99.0% of the C in stream 3 exits the extractor in stream 5.
80.0% of the B in stream 5 exits the distillation column in stream 6.
a) Redraw the flow chart in and label it using component molar flow rates instead of overall molar
flow rates and mol fractions. (10 points)
b) Write out the 11 equations needed to solve the problem in linear form. (10 points)
c) Put the 11 equations in matrix form .(10 points)
d) Solve the matrix equation by inverting the A matrix using Excel, Python, or another method of
your choosing (make sure to show screenshots of all your work).(10 points)
e) Convert your component flow rates back into total molar flow rates and mole fractions and fill in
all the unknown values in the flow chart shown above. (10 points)send expert
