2. Consider a distillation column with 25 plates separating a mixture of hydrocarbons entering as an equimolar feed of i-butane, n-butane, i-pentane, n-pentane, and n-hexane. The keys are n-butane and i-pentane. What kind of condenser will be used in this column: water-cooled total, water-cooled partial, or refrigerated? Estimate the pressure at the condenser and the reboiler. Estimate the temperature of the reboiler. Assume a pressure drop of 850 Pa per plate
