 Stage6, y= -2.8

Results
There are two experiments and we have find the overall efficiency of the column and the we
have find the top tray temperature which is T=69 0C. distillate comes D= F-B = 0.07 lb-mol/hr

while at the end of second experiment we got the following results:

 Stage1, y= 0.7
 Stage2, y= 0.54
 Stage3, y= 0.45
 Stage4, y= 0.50
 Stage5, y= 0.38
 Stage6, y= -2.8
