11.7-6. Distillation of Multicomponent Alcohol Mixture.

A feed of 30 mol % methanol (A), 20%

ethanol (B), 15% n-propanol (C), and 35% n-butanol (D) is distilled at 101,32 kPa absolute pressure to
give a distillate composition containing 95,0 mole % methanol and a residue composition containing
5,0% methanol and the other components as calculated. The feed is below the boiling point, so that q =
1,1. The operating reflux ratio is 3,0. Assume that Raoult's law applies and use vapor-pressure data
from Problem 11.7-3. Calculate the following.
(a) Composition and amounts of distillate and bottoms for a feed of 100 mol/h.
(b) Top and bottom temperatures and number of stages at total reflux. (Also, calculate the distribution
of the
other components.)
