Question: A chemical separation system is used to separate benzene, styrene, toluene, and xylene with an 70% benzene 65% styrene D array of distillation columns

A chemical separation system is used to separate benzene, styrene, toluene, and xylene with an 70% benzene 65% styrene D array of distillation columns shown in Figure 1. Experimental data show that the feed rate (stream 25% toluene 5% xylene A) is 100 mole/hr and that the composition of stream A is 15% benzene, 20% styrene, 30% toluene and 35% xylene (compositions are in mole %). II 30% benzene 35% styrene The following information is available for this system: I 75% toluene E 95% xylene i. 70% benzene, 65% styrene, 25% toluene and 5% xylene of stream B go overhead to 15% benzene 20% styrene stream D. The remainder goes out the bottom to stream E. F 30% toluene 85% benzene 35% xylene 65% styrene ii. 85% benzene, 60% styrene, 20% toluene and 10% xylene of stream C go overhead to 20 % toluene C stream F. The remainder goes out the bottom to stream G. III 10% xylene 15% benzene 35% styrene 80% toluene 90% xylene Figure 1. Distillation column train 2.1. Write mass balances for each component using the supplied data. Solve the resulting linear system using octave. (20) 2.2. Compute the four individual molar flow rates for distillation column II. (10)
