Find the optimum feed stage location and the total number of equilibrium stages needed.

A distillation column is separating water from n-butanol at 1 atmosphere pressure. Equilibrium data are in Table 8-2. The distillation system is similar to Figure 8-3A and has a partial reboiler, a total condenser and a liquid-liquid settler. The bottom layer from the settler (rich in water with xw = 0.975) is taken as the distillate product. The top layer (xw = 0.573) is returned to the column as a saturated liquid reflux. The feed is 40.0 mol% water, is a saturated vapor and flows at 500.0 kmol/h. The bottoms is 0.04 mole frac water. Use a boilup ratio of /B = 0.5. Assume CMO is valid. Step off stages from the bottom up. Find the optimum feed stage location and the total number of equilibrium stages needed.
