Do the above problem with the below steps:


Problem 5 The system diphenylhexane-docosane-furfural is representative of more complex systems encountered in the solvent refining of lubricating oil. Five hundred kilograms per hour of a 40wt% mixture of diphenylhexane (DPH) in docosane are to be continuously extracted in a counter current system with 500 kg/h of a solvent containing 98wt% furfural and 2wt%DPH to produce a raffinate that contains 5wt% DPH. The equilibrium data for the diphenylhexane-docosane-furfural system at 80C are shown in Tables 1 and 2. Determine the following using both an equilateral triangle (Figure 1) and a right triangle (Figure 2): (a) Number of kg/h of DPH in the extract; (b) Number of theoretical stages; and (c) Efficiency of separation (mass of DPH in the extract/mass of DPH entered the LLE unit).
