Benzene, styrene, toluene, and xylene are to be separated with the array of distillation columns shown in Figure below. Experimental data show that the feed rate (stream A) is 300kghr and that the composition of stream A is 15% benzene, 20% styrene, 30% toluene and 35% xylene (compositions are in weight %). Determine the flow rates of D, E, F and G with a) Excel matrix functions and b) Gauss-Jordan elimination method. The following information is available for this system: 1.85% benzene, 60% styrene, 25% toluene and 10% xylene of the feed stream go overhead to stream B. The remainder goes out the bottom to stream C.
2.70% benzene, 60% styrene, 25% toluene and 5% xylene of stream B go overhead to stream D. The remainder goes out the bottom to stream E.
3.85% benzene, 65% styrene, 20% toluene and 10% xylene of stream C go overhead to stream The remainder goes out the bottom to stream G.
