Q. An aqueous solution of methanol is to be distilled in a tray column. High pressure steam is available as a source of heat. For a given reflux ratio and overhead composition, two options are being explored:

(i) a reboiler is used and
(ii) no reboiler is used but steam is fed directly to the bottom of the column.

As compared to option (i), in option (ii)
