1) A multi-stage tower is distilling a methanol-water mixture. Assuming that the pressure is constant at 1 atm throughout the tower, find the temperature difference (using the graph below) between the reboiler and the top plate if the mole-fractions of methanol in the liquid bottom-product and distillate are 0.1 and 0.9 respectively.
