A steady-state countercurrent staged distillation column is separating ethanol from water. The feed is a 30.0 wt% ethanol, 70.0 wt% water mixture that is a saturated liquid at 1 atm pressure. Flow rate of feed is 10,000 kg/h. The column operates at a pressure of 1 atm. The reflux is returned as a saturated liquid. A reflux ratio of L/D = 3.0 is being used. Bottoms composition is XB = 0.05 (weight fraction ethanol), and distillate composition is xp = 0.80 (weight fraction ethanol). The system has a total condenser and a partial reboiler. The column is well insulated. Use the Lewis method to find the number of equilibrium contacts required if the feed is input on the second stage from the top.

Aloaded platform of total mass 500 kg is supported by a dashpot and by a set of springs of effective stiffness 72 kn/m. it is observed that when the platform is depressed through a distance x = 12.5 cm below its equilibrium position and then released without any initial velocity; it reaches its equilibrium position in the shortest possible time without overshoot. find the position and velocity of the loaded platform 0.10 sec. after its release. if a further load of 400 kg is added to the platform, find, i) the frequency of damped vibrations, and i) the amplitude of vibration after 2 complete oscillations, given that the initial amplitude is 15 cm.
