Newbie seeking help! Need guidance on calculations related to condensers

Condenser at the top of the distillation tower. It is known that the steam entering the condenser consists of n-butanol and water, at a temperature of 95 degrees Celsius. In the fractional condenser, the temperature is reduced to 45 degrees Celsius; the waste gas is discharged, while the liquid is obtained as the product. How can the composition and quantity of the gas and liquid phases be calculated? A newcomer seeking advice; extremely grateful!
Butanol has a boiling point of 117°C, while water’s is 100°C – are you using vacuum distillation? At normal pressure, the liquid state is reached at 95°C, let alone at 45°C; so what’s there to talk about fractional distillation?
Calculate the flow rate of the components in the gas-phase outlet based on temperature, pressure, and the amount of non-condensable gas； Inlet material component flow rate – Gas-phase outlet material component flow rate = Liquid-phase condensed material component flow rate!
