A chemical plant produces oxygen by liquefying air and separating it into its component gases by fractional distillation. The purity of oxygen is a function of the main condenser temperature and the pressure ratio between the upper and lower columns. Current operation conditions are temperature = -200 deg C and pressure ratio = 1.2. Using the following data, find the path of steepest ascent
