solve only a b c d
do not solve e f g h
solve only a b c d do not solve e f g

100 kmolh of a liquid feed at its bubble point is to be distilled at a certain pressure in a tray tower to produce the distillate and bottoms as given below. Use the shortcut method to do the following: (a) Calculate the molar flow rates of distillate and bottoms. (b) Specify the light and heavy key components. (c) Calculate the minimum number of theoretical trays using Fenske's equation. (d) Calculate the distribution of the other components in the distillate and bottoms at total reflux. (e) Calculate the minimum reflux ratio using underwood's method. (f) If the operating reflux ratio R = 1.25 x Rm, determine the number of theoretical trays needed using both Erbar-Maddox's correlation and Gilliland's plots. (g) Determine the feed tray location using Kirkbride's equation. (h) If the overall column efficiency is estimated as 50.0%, calculate the number of actual trays required.
