Transcribed Image Text:Q10//
A binary mixture (F1) consists of 40 Wt.% benzene, 40 Wt.% toluene, 20 Wt.% xylene are
Continuously feed to the tow stage distillation unit at a rate of 1000 Ib/hr so that benzene
is essentially obtained as a distillate (D1) from the fires column. Whereas toluene and
xylene are observed as a distillate (D2) and a bottom product (W2) respectively from the
second column as shown in the following block diagram.
Calculate the flow rate of D1, F2, D2, W2, and the composition of F2.
