A feed containing equimolar amount of methanol and water is mixed with 15 moles of a 40 mol% aqueous methanol stream. The mixture enters a separation unit that creates two streams. A top stream exits that contains 65 mol% methanol and the rest water. The other stream, which is 70 moles, enters a second separation unit. A top stream exits the second unit as a 50% methanol/50% water mixture. The other stream is unknown. If the fresh feed to the system is 100 moles (the equimolar mixture) and the two top streams exiting the separation units have the same flow rate, find the mass flow rate and composition of the other stream exiting the second separation unit.
