Answer the following:

Two flash distillation columns are connected together as shown in the following diagram. Both are at 1 atm. The feed to the first drum is a binary mixture of methanol and water of

55 mol% MeOH. Feed flow rate is 10,000 kmol/h. The second flash column operates with V/F= 0.7 , and the liquid product composition is 25 mol% MeOH. Determine the fraction vaporized in the first column, and the values y1, y2, x1, T1, and T2

Vi Feed = 10,000 kmol/h Zr = 0.55 Column 2 Column 1 L2, X2 = 0.25 Li
