Miscibility of THF in Isopropyl Acetate and Water

What is the miscibility percentage of Tetrahydrofuran in Isopropyl Acetate and in water? Have gone through many search engines unable to get the requested data

THF is miscible with water.  That's easy to find.  Isopropyl acetate is an organic compound, and is likely miscible with THF.

Now, does water and isopropyl acetate combine to form some sort of mixture that oils out in THF?  That's always possible, but that's trivia -- people only know something like that if its a fun story to tell.

Note:  you haven't troubled yourself to tell us in what proportions these solvents are mixed -- 1:1:1?  Or a trace of isopropyl acetate in water with THF?  Which do you mean?  You won't easily find a reference with every proportion listed.
Hey, I'm not judging.  I just like to shoot straight.  I'm a man of science.

Actually I wanted to know the separation process of THF + IPAc + MeOH which are taken in the ratio as 2500 Ltr + 800 Ltr + 600 Ltr respectively. Anyone helping me in this regard is very much appreciated

One, I don't know what you mean by "separation process."  What is your intended application?  Two, are we talking about water or methanol as the third component of your system?
