sh feed containing 25 wt% A and 75 wt% B flowing at 120 kg/h enters a separator that removes a portion of pure component A only as a bottom product. The top product stream of the separator contains 10 wt. % of component A and the balance is B. A small part of the separator product stream is recycled and joined in the fresh feed stream. The other portion is purged. The separator is designed to remove exactly two-thirds of component A fed to it (not the fresh feed). The recycle loop is used to achieve this goal. Compute all unknown stream flow rates and compositions.

Question
Fresh feed containing 25 wt% A and 75 wt% B flowing at 120 kg/h enters a separator that removes a portion of pure component A only as a bottom product. The top product stream of the separator contains 10 wt. % of component A and the balance is B. A small part of the separator product stream is recycled and joined in the fresh feed stream. The other portion is purged. The separator is designed to remove exactly two-thirds of component A fed to it (not the fresh feed). The recycle loop is used to achieve this goal. Compute all unknown stream flow rates and compositions.
