Question: PLEASE WRITE THE SOLUTION ON PAPER Ethyl benzene and heptane mixture is fed with heptane composition of 0 . 5 and a flowrate of 1

PLEASE WRITE THE SOLUTION ON PAPER
Ethyl benzene and heptane mixture is fed with heptane composition of 0.5 and a flowrate of 1kmolhr to an atmospheric enriching column with a side stream (0) as shown in the figure below:Ethyl benzene and heptane mixture is fed at a super heated condition with a q value as -0.3. The side stream heptane composition is 0.75 and the distillate heptane composition leaving the total condenser is 0.98.a) Determine the minimum reflux ratio (Rmin) if the side stream is 0.2kmol//hr...20ptsb) Determine the maximum side stream flow rate for R=2**R min (Rmin which was determined in part a))..20 ptsc) For R=2**R min ( R min which was determined in part a) and O=0max//1.5(Omax which was determined in part b)) determine the number of ideal stages and the stage where the side stream is located..... 20 pts bonus
