Actually, my question was: What's a good way to get from the composition
information given by the model to tray temperatures? I know that if I had
a specific binary mixture, I could look up some data and build a little
function that gives the temperature given the composition. But I want to
be realistic and find something that "looks" like it has a relative
volatility of 1.5, like in the model. So....do you think I should just
start with some data, or is there some relationship between temperature
and composition that is typical for things with relative volatility of
1.5?

Just happened to have the ADCHEM one sitting on my desk. Will review.
Many thanks!
