Question 3. A distillation column is separating a two-phase feed that is 60% liquid, 40%mol methanol in water. Distillate product is 92%, bottom product is 4% methanol. Total reboiler and total condenser are used. Reflux is saturated liquid. Operation is at 1 atm. Assume CMO. L/D=0.9. Under these conditions, HG=1.3ft and HL=0.8ft in both the enriching and stripping sections. Determine the required heights of both the enriching and stripping sections
