A total of 100 mol/(s) of a saturated (dew point) vapor consisting of 60 mol% benzene and 40 mol% toluene is fed to a distillation column containing equilibrium trays, a TC, and a PR. A reflux ratio of 2.0 produces a 65 mol/(s) of a distillate with 0.89 mol(B)/mol. How many trays are required and which one will be the optimum feed tray? a. Draw a process flow diagram b. Draw the TOL, q-line, and BOL on the xy graph c. Using the "Step off the Stages" method to determine how many trays are required and which one will be the optimum feed tray 1.0 0.9 0.8 0.7 0.6 0.5 0.4 0.3 0.2 0.1 0.0 0.0 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4 0.5 0.6 0.7 0.8 0.9 1.0 x (mol fraction)
