Now composition of water in top product = × 100=39.24 %
0.79
This gives,
Xd = 0.61
Xw = 0.39
100 = D + W
50 = 61 – 0.61 W + 0.39 W
11 = 0.22 W
W = 50
100 = D + 50
D = 50
Ln = 3D = 3 x 50 = 150
Vn = Ln + D = 150 + 50 = 200
Since the feed is all liquid at boiling point, this will run down as increased flux to the plate
below.
Vm = Lm – W =250 – 50 = 200
