Question: plz solve A B C D only now A saturated liquid feed of 100 kmol/h contains 60 mol % heptane and 40 mol % ethyl

plz solve A B C D only now
plz solve A B C D only now A saturated liquid feed

A saturated liquid feed of 100 kmol/h contains 60 mol % heptane and 40 mol % ethyl benzene is to be fractionated at 101.3 kPa pressure to give a distillate containing 95 mol % heptane and a bottoms containing 5 mol % heptane. Equilibrium data are given below at 101.3 kPa in terms of mole fractions of heptane. (a) Calculate the amounts of distillate and bottoms in kmol/h. (b) Using Fenske's equation, calculate the minimum number of theoretical trays. (c) Using Underwood's equation, calculate the minimum reflux ratio. (d) Using McCabe-Thiele method, calculate the theoretical number of trays at an operating reflux ratio R-2.0. (e) If the Murphree tray efficiency (Emv) is estimated as 0.50: (i) Draw the actual equilibrium curve. (ii) Calculate the actual number of trays. (iii)Calculate the overall column efficiency (Eo). . 0.000 0,080 0.250 0.485 0.790 1.000 0.000 0.230 0.504 0.730 0.904 1.000
