A distillation column receives a feed that is 40 mole \% n-pentane and 60 mole \% n-hexane. Feed is saturated liquid at 2,500lbmol/hr. The column is at 1atm. A distillate that is 97mole%n pentane is desired. A total condenser is used. Reflux is a saturated liquid. The external reflux ratio is L0/D=3. Bottoms from the partial reboiler is 2 mole \% n-pentane. Determine the intersection (xq,yq) of the q-line with the operating line, the number of equilibrium trays, and the minimum reflux ratio. Data: Vapor pressure, Psat, data: lnPsat=AB/(T+C), where P sat is in kPa and T is in K
