This formulation provides the Optimal Heat Integrated
Distillation Sequence with Pressure as a continuous variable
for a three component separation.

           Components:     a == Hexane
                           b == Benzene
                           c == Heptane

total feed to superstructure == 396 kgmol/hr

multicomponent feed composition: a = 0.80
                                 b = 0.10
                                 c = 0.10
