A distillation column is used to separate 3 components, M,E and P fed in
the ratio 1:2:3 respectively to produce a top product composition that has
equal amounts of E and P and 90%M.
Furthermore, 90% of the M in the feed is present in the top product stream.
Calculate the flow rate and composition of the bottom product stream
assuming an appropriate basis.
 A distillation column is used to separate 3 components, M,E and
