A fermentation broth coming from the saccharification and fermentation reactor processing potatoes can be idealized as a mixture of 15% ethanol, 75% water, and 10% dextrin. Make a theoretical study calculating the possible vapor concentration that can be produced if this liquid mixture is heated to 80

Given:
    Ethanol = 15% , x1 = 0.15
    H2O = 75% , x2 = 0.75
    Dextrin = 10% , x3 = 0.10

    T = 80◦C = 80+273 = 353K
Step 1 - Antoine Equation for Ethanol
    A = 5.24677 , B = 1598.673 , C = - 46.424 , P = bar , T = K
    
    log10(P) = A - B/ T + C
    log10(P1sat) = 5.24677 - 1598.673/353 - 46.424
    
    P1sat = 1.0768 bar
Step 2 - Antoine Equation for H2O
    
    A = 5.0768 , B = 1659.793 , C = - 45.854
    log10(P) = A - B/ T + C
