variables

 P-pressure
 T-temperature
 XB-mass fraction of benzene
 XT– mass fraction of toluene
 PsatB- saturated pressure of benzene
 PsatT- saturated pressure of toluene
Mathematical model
 XBPsatB+ XT PsatT=P substitute XB=1-XT,
(1- XT )PsatB+PsatT*XT=P
PsatB- XT PsatB+PsatT*XT=P
XT PsatT-PsatB*XT=P-PsatB
XT(PsatT-PsatB)=P-PsatB
XT=P-PsatB/PsatT-PsatB
Where the partial pressure are computed as
PsatB=10^(6.905- 1211/(T+221))
Cont………

 PsatT=10^(6.905-1344/(T+219))
 The solution then consists of maximizing XT by varying T
subject to the constraint that 0≤XT≤1
 From Antoine equation =A-B/(C+T)
For toluene A=6.905,B= 1344,C=219
For benzene A=6.905,B=1211,C=221
Excel Solver
4.1.
Result
 The number of unknown variables is to large, so we guess the temperature
value and solved the other parameters.
 Highest purity of toluene is separated when saturated pressure of toluene
equals to the pressure of flash tank. Then the excel solver can be used to
obtain T=116.839659.
 XT is the objective function
 PsatB=1953.707226
 PsatT=800.0005166
 XT=1
 Pcal=800
