Once the number of stages has been found from the key solute, k, the concentrations of the other solutes can be
determined by solving (c-1) fully specified simulation problems.
This means that the number of stages is known and the outlet compositions have to be calculated. This problem
is similar to the one we have already discussed and called simulation problem. The operating lines have for
every solute the same slope (L/G).
If we consider the next example, the number of stages found for the key component must be drawn for the other
components. Graphically, this means...
