 Problem 1: 1 bata a A mixture of n-heptane (03%), Benzene(45%),

Problem 1: 1 bata a A mixture of n-heptane (03%), Benzene(45%), xylene(50%) and Ethyl-Benzene is fed into a distillation column operated at one bar. The feed is saturated liquid. If 90% of Benzene and 6% of xylene appears in distillate calculate the approximate distillate and bottoms flows and compositions assuming 100 moles of feed Jatm 4=2 Problem 2: Using your results in problem 1 and assuming Alfa(bz/Tol)=2.0 R=1.3 Rmin calculate: Nmin ii- Rmin assuming pseudo binary separation iii- R iv- Nusing Gilliand correlation V- Number of theoretical stages in both sections vi- Optimum feed location
