Distillation Column Design (Trial and Error)

The document provides flow rate, temperature, pressure, and composition data for multiple components in a distillation column. It includes normalized molar quantities and flow rates for the feed, distillate, forerunnings, and residue streams. Equilibrium constants, vapor pressures, and other thermodynamic properties are also calculated and presented.
