The feed to a separation process contains 50 wt% benzene (B), 30 wt% toluene(T), and 20 wt% of xylene(X). The feed enters the process at flow rate of 100 kg/h. The overhead stream from the first unit contains 95 wt% B, 3 wt% T, and 2 wt% X. The bottom stream enters the second unit of separation process to separate further the materials. The overhead stream from the second unit contains 3 wt% B, 95 wt% T, and 2 wt% of X. The flow rate of the overhead from the first unit is 52% of the fresh feed flow rate. The amount of benzene in the overhead of second unit is 75% of the benzene that enters the second unit. a) Draw the flowchart for this process and label it accordingly. b) Perform degree of freedom analysis. c) Determine the flow rates of all the streams leaving both units
