Assignment:
For continuous distillation of a binary mixture of constant relative volatility, Fenske equation (6-62) can be used to estimate the minimum number of equilibrium stages required for the given separation, Nmin. Use the Fenske equation to estimate Nmin for distillation of the benzene-toluene mixture. Assume that for this system at 1 atm, the relative volatility is constant at α = 2.5.
Provide complete and step by step solution for the question and show calculations and use formulas.
