Homework

A. Discussion Problems
A1. In the figure shown, what streams are represented by point A? By point B? How would you
determine the temperature of stage 2? How about the temperature in the reboiler? If feed
composition is as shown, how can the liquid composition on the optimum feed stage be so much
less than z?
