Hi all,
I'm currently designing an azeotropic distillation column but I have encountered some problems in my design. In my design, water is introduced into the distillation column as a solvent or entrainer. Now, I have two feed streams in my column in which one is ETBE/ethanol and another one is the pure water. I found problem when trying to calculate the optimum feed stage location using Kirkbride equation since I have two feed streams.

My question here is how do I calculate the feed stage locations for the two feed streams?

P/S The composition and conditions for feed streams are known.
