In a continuously operating distillation column, 5000 kg/h equimolar mixture of CCl4 and CS2 will be distilled, and the top product with 90% CS2 in moles and a lower product whose amount does not exceed CS2 in moles will be separated. The reflux ratio is 3 and the feed stream is the liquid at its boiling point. Calculate the required theoretical number of shelves and top and bottom product flow rates. CCl4=154, CS2=76
