percent water mixture must be recovered in the residue from a batch distillation
tower equivalent to three equilibrium stages(including the still pot) operating at 228
mm Hg. An overall distillate composition of 5 mole percent of 5 mole percent
ethylene glycol is desired.
(a) If the distillate composition is held constant, what must be the initial and final
reflux ratios?
(b) If the reflux ratio is held constant, what must be its value?
Given:
