Acetone is used in the manufacture of many chemicals and solvents. You are required to separate acetone from water by distillation. This continuous steady-state process involves separation and mixing processes. The flow rate of the acetone-water mixture going into the distillation column is 100 kg/h with equal mass composition. The output, vapor stream contains 90.0 mass% acetone with flow rate of 40.0 kg/h. The liquid stream is then mixed with another acetone-water mixture which flows at 30.0 kg/h and contains only 30.0 mass% acetone. Finally, the output stream from the mixing process undergoes distillation process again where the vapor stream contains 90.0 mass% acetone with 0.35 kg/h. Draw the flow chart of the processes. Calculate the flow rates and compositions of the unknowns.
