Q3: A liquid mixture containing 40 mol % A and 60 mol % B is to be separated by distillation by using a reflux ratio of 3.5 mole per mole of product so as to form an overhead product containing 95 mol % of A and a bottom product containing 95 mol % of B. The feed enters the column as liquid at its boiling point. A is more volatile than B. By using McCabe-Theile method determine: a. the minimum reflux ratio b. the number of theoretical plates c. Minimum number of theoretical plates d. The position of feed plate VLE for A-8 system X 10 y 0 0.20 0.38 95 0.40 0.60 0.78 0.61 0.80 1.0 0.92 1.0
