A distillation column contains a mixture of 60% benzene and 40% toluene, by mass, at 1 atm pressure. will be used to separate benzene from the mixture. The feed rate is 20000 kg/h. supply temperature is 298 K. The distillate desired composition is 96% mol% and the subproduct is 5% mole benzene. The reflux rate is taken as 2 times the minimum reflux rate and the reflux the stream is returned to the column as a saturated liquid. a constant relative volatility 2.54 for benzene-toluene is acceptable. My site is a whole condenser and some Includes evaporator. Constant molar flow can be assumed Calculate the following using the graphical method Composition of vapor and liquid leaving the 3rd stage down the condenser
