(P12.9b)
where K is called a distribution coefficient. Equation (P12.9b) can be solved for Xi and substituted into
Eq. (P12.9a) to yield

If F1 = 400 kg/h, Yin = 0.1, F2 = 800 kg/h, Xin = 0, and K = 5, determine the values of Yout and Xout if a
five-stage reactor is used. Note that Eq. (P12.9c) must be modified to account for the inflow weight
fractions when applied to the first and last stages.
