Task 7 addresses criteria: S&E 1.7 Evaluate competing separation technologies that involve phase addition or creation. (10 marks) Column distillation: a) A distillation column, at 1 atm, with a total condenser and a partial re-boiler is used to separate an ethanol (EtOH)-water mixture. The feed is 25 mol% EtOH with a feed rate of 1000 kmol/h (T = 35 C). A distillate composition of 70 mol% EtOH and a bottom composition of 5 mol% EtOH are required. The external reflux ratio is 2.0 and the re- flux is a saturated liquid. If the constant molar overflow is assumed, find the number of equilibrium stages and the optimal feed stage.

All i need is a McCabe Thiele plot. Please include a diagram on the Excel sheet showing the graph composition. The working has been worked out already from a previous question.
