Transcribed Image Text:1. A feed of equimolar (50%) binary system mixture of (A&B components) is processed in a distillation column to
achieve a mole fraction of A at the top of the column XD=0.9, while its mole fraction at the bottom product is
0.05. Component A is the more volatile component in this mixture.
a. determine the number of required stages to achieve the above-mentioned purity.
b. If you use tray column, how many trays are required if the tray efficiency is 85%
