A mixture containing 10% ethanol (E) and 90% H2O (W) by weight is fed into a distillation column at the rate of 100 kg/h. The distillate con- tains 60% ethanol and the distillate is produced at a rate of one tenth that of the feed. Draw and label a flowchart of the process. Calculate all unknown stream flow rates and compositions
