A binary mixture is fed to a continuous fractionating column at bubble point, the feed rate is 100 kmol/h, the concentration of feed is 0.4(mole fraction), the concentration of distillate is 0.9(mole fraction), the concentration of liquid leaving the reboiler is 0.1(mole fraction), and the reflux ratio is 3. The vapor from the top plate are totally condensed but not cooled. The relative volatility is 2.45. Calculate:(a) The flow rate D kmol/h of overhead product and B kmol/h of bottom product.(b) Minimum reflux.(c) The flow rate of vapor from the reboiler V' kmol/h.(d) The operating line equation of Rectifing section and Stripping section(e) The concentration of liquid leaving the ideal plate above the reboiler Xn.
