Engineering Mathematics Question on Complex number
A homogeneous azeotropic distillation process separates an azeotropic AB binary feed using a heavy entrainer, E, as shown in the figure. The loss of E in the two product streams is negligible so that E circulates around the process in a closed- circuit. For a distillation column with fully specified feed(s), given operating pressure, a single distillate stream and a single bottoms stream, the steady-state degrees of freedom equals 2. For the process in the figure with a fully specified AB feed stream and given column operating pressures, the steady-state degrees of freedom equals
