Hello all!

I've been working on a packed distillation column, and I wanted to see all the possible ways to solve a particular problem.
The setup is batch distillation which heats 100 litres of feed (mainly methanol, about 90 mol%, and water) to produce 99.9% purity product. Here is my problem: I am not able to find out the vapour and liquid flowrates from the fixed feed that is given. I want to know how flowrates can be found out in this situation. I am also supposed to find out diameter and height of the column. Any methods available for solving this can be really helpful!

 

Thank you!
