Three streams are fed in equal amounts to a single mixer-settler system. The first stream contains 80% water, 2% furfural, and 18% ethylene glycol. The second stream contains 20% water, 10% furfural, and 70% ethylene glycol. The third stream contains 0% water, 96% furfural, and 4% ethylene glycol.

A) Label the composition of the three feed streams and the mixing point on the ternary diagram below

B) If the mixing point lies within the two-phase region, determine the composition of the two streams that will exit the settler

C) What is the ratio of the flow rate of the water-rich phase to the furfural-rich phase?
