Consider an ideal equimolar binary mixture of benzene and toluene at . This mixture is fed to a 10-stage column with a total condenser and partial reboiler. The feed stage is stage 7. Column stages are counted from the top. The feed flow rate is taken equal to
. You can set the values of the feed's thermal quality
, the reflux ratio
, and the reboil ratio
.
