A binary mixture (A and B) are fractionated using a fractionator which has 3 ideal
plates. The feed enters between 2nd and the 3rd trays. The feed is a saturated vapor with
mole fraction 0.005. The condenser used is a total condenser and the reflux is at its
bubble point. The molar rate of reflux is 1.3 moles/mole of feed and rate of vaporization
in reboiler is 0.6 moles/mole of feed. The equation for equilibrium line is given as y =
12.6 x. Calculate the volume and concentration of distillate and the residue
