Q2. The feed, F with acetone in aqueous phase enters at X kg/hr

with composition of 25 wt.% solute (no solvent, MIK present).
The objective now is to have a counter-current system so the
raffinate leaving in the Nth stage, has 2.5 wt.%. Show the
construction on the ternary diagram for the number of
equilibrium stages given a solvent flow of 28 kg/hr. Plot the
extract concentration in different stages as a function of number
of stages. Equilibrium data already provided as an assignment
sheet. [Marks: 12]

➔ X = 100 + (Sum of digits only)

Example: 190B20004 → X=116
