A binary mixture containing 48 mass %A and B is to be separated in a plant containing of two stages distillation process. The bottom product from the first distillation column is used as the feed to the second column. The mass composition in percentage of B in the overhead product from the first distillation column is to be 5%. The overhead product from the second column is to contain 98 mass % of A. The bottom product from the second column contain 1% A. The fresh feed enters the plant at a rate of 10000kgh and the overhead product from the second column exits at a rate of 2000kgh.
4.1. Draw and completely label the schematic diagram of the process.
4.2. Calculate all the unknown flow rates and mass compositions of the process stream.
 A binary mixture containing 48 mass %A and B is to
