Consider a distillation column with stages, a partial reboiler, and a total condenser. The column is used to separate an equimolar nonideal mixture of ethanol and water. The feed, a biphasic stream with a quality equal to , enters at stage 8 at a rate equal to . The reboil ratio is constant, equal to . Suppose that the column is subject to a step in the reflux ratio.
