2000 kg/hr of a mixture of ethanol (E) and water (W) containing 50% ethanol by mass is separated by distillation into two fractions. The mass flow rate of ethanol in the top stream is 900 kg E/h and that of water in the bottom stream is 950 kg W/h. The operation is at steady state. Write balances on ethanol and water to calculate the unknown component flow rates in the output streams. Draw the related diagram as well.
