Consider an ideal equimolar binary mixture of benzene and toluene at . This mixture, with a thermal quality equal to 0.5, is fed to a 10-stage column with a total condenser and partial reboiler. The feed stage is stage 7. The feed flow rate is taken equal to
. Up to time
, the reflux and reboil ratios are
and
, respectively. At times above
, the column is subject to a step in the reflux ratio,
, while
is kept equal to
.
