Fresh feed containing 55 wt% A and 45 wt% B flowing at 100 kg/h enters a separator that
removes a portion of pure component A only as a bottom product. The top product stream
of the separator contains 10 wt% of component A and the balance is B. A small part of the
separator product stream is recycled and joined in the fresh feed stream. The other portion
is purged. The separator is designed to remove exactly two-thirds of component A fed to it
(not the fresh feed). The recycle loop is used to achieve this goal. Compute all unknown
stream flow rates and compositions.
