A distillation column at 101 kPa is used to separate 350 kmol/h of a bubble point mixture of toluene and benzene into an overhead product with 3 mole % toluene and a bottoms product with 98 mole % toluene. The feed contains 0.45 mole fraction benzene. The overhead reflux occurs at saturation temperature (implies it is total condenser – if it was not, you would have a vapor liquid mixture or a partial condenser akin to a partial reboiler). VLE data for the mixture is given below. An average alpha can be found from the VLE data if solving analytically. EQUILIBRIUM DATA IN MOLE- FRACTION BENZENE, 101 kPA
y 0.21 0.37 0.51 0.64 0.72 0.79 0.86 0.91 0.96 0.98
x 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4 0.5 0.6 0.7 0.8 0.9 0.95

Required:
a. What are the distillate and bottoms flow rates (D and B)?
b. What is the minimum reflux ratio, Rmin (corresponding to N= infinity)?
