Question: A feed to a distillation column is F = 2 0 0 kmo l h r , with composition x a = 0 . 1

A feed to a distillation column is F=200kmolhr, with composition xa=0.15;xb=0.15,xc=0.7. The bottom product of the distillation column is Bkmolhr, with a composition of xa=0.03;xb=0.2;xc=0.77. The top stream is Tkmolhr, with unknown composition ya;yb;yc. The top stream is blended with a stream of 100kmolhr consisting of 45%A and 55% B (molar fractions), to form a product P. Product P has 20% C (molar fraction.
Draw a schematic of the process, annotate all known and unknown values and solve the problem.
 A feed to a distillation column is F=200kmolhr, with composition xa=0.15;xb=0.15,xc=0.7.
