Q:

1000 kg/hr of a mixture of BENZENE and TOLUENE contains 60% BENZENE by mass are separated by distillation into 2 fractions. The mass flow rate of BENZENE in the product top stream is 450 kg BENZENE/hr and that of TOLUENE in the bottom stream is 475 kg TOLUENE/hr. The operation is steady state. Draw the process flow diagram.
