TITLE:
Using the Knowledge of matrices to solve linear algebraic equations.
DESCRIPTION:
Task 1: Solution of simultaneous linear equations.
Question 1: Steady-state material balance on a separation train. p-xylene, styrene, toluene and
benzene are to be separated with the array of distillation columns shown in figure. Where F, D, B, D1,
D2, B1, B2 are molar flow rates, mol/min.

Question 2: Steady state material balance for liquid mixing reactor. The complex
reaction is occurred in liquid mixing reactor.

a) solve for the reactor volume (V) 100[L], feed composition ( ), feed rate(Q) 50[ ].
The initial values are all 0, use global Q. (chap 2 solutions of eq.)
b) Show the solutions as like Figure (2) for change of feed rate
12:1:100. CA0 and V can be transferred by global, and use num2str() for text.
Express all letters and numbers are bold face and line width as
2.
