Your work must follow the format given in assignment #1 to receive full credit:
You will not receive full credit if you do not provide every step in the calculation even if
you use a Matlab program.
9) A distillation column receives a feed that is 40 mole % i-Butane and 60 mole % i-Pentane.
Feed is saturated mixture with q = 0.4 at 1,000 lbmol/hr. The column is at 14.7 psia. A distillate
that is 97 mole % i-Butane is desired. A total condenser is used. Reflux is a saturated liquid.
Bottoms from the partial reboiler is 5 mole % i-Butane. Write your own Matlab program to plot
the q line and the operating lines at the minimum flux conditions. Put your name on the graph
using the title command.
