Question: During the distillation process, the input flow rate is 1 0 0 0 m o l h containing 3 0 % ethanol, 4 0 %

During the distillation process, the input flow rate is 1000molh containing 30% ethanol, 40%
water, and 30% ethylene glycol. There are three output streams: 1st output stream contains 70%
ethanol and 30% water; 2nd output stream contains 20% ethanol and 40% water; 3rd output stream
contains 5% ethanol and 50% water. Solve the material balance using both MatLab and Python
and calculate the flow rates for all three output streams.
a) Draw and label the PFD from the information given above, highlighting all the unknown
variables. (You should define each variable first, e.g.ni represents ....)
b) Perform a degree-of-freedom analysis.
c) Write codes in both MatLab and Python to solve a system of equations and calculate all the
unknown variables (i.e., molar flow rates in all three outputs).
d) Draw a final PFD, with all the flow rates labeled, and all calculated information clearly shown
on a single diagram.
e) Perform a final mass balance check on the overall system to prove that mass is conserved.
[write the balance equation]
2 Computational Guidelines
Your codes in both MatLab and Python should contain discrete sections and comments so that
anyone reading the code can understand what each line/section does.
Your codes should contain equations for all possible balances, then output all the required.
