 A distillation column with a partial condenser and a partial reboiler
is separating a mixture that is 70 mol\% n-pentane and 30 mol\%

A distillation column with a partial condenser and a partial reboiler is separating a mixture that is 70 mol\% n-pentane and 30 mol\% n-hexane. Feed rate is 1000kmolh and it is at 35C. Column is operating at 1.0 atmosphere, and at an external reflux ratio of 2.8. The overhead distillate product is 99.9mol%n-pentane and the bottoms product is 99.9mol%n-hexane. a. Find D,B,QC8QR. b.
