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.
