Problem #1 A ternary mixture of hexane (A), heptane (B) and octane (C) is to be flash vaporized continuously at 1 atm pressure. The feed mixture contains 25 mol% hexane, 35 mol% heptane and the balance is octane a. Determine the boiling range of the ternary feed mixture at 1 atm pressure. Boiling range is defined as the difference of TDP and TBP. b. The feed mixture is flash vaporized at 1 atm and at a temperature Liquid F, Zi that is mid-way of TDP and TBP of the feed mixture, i.e., Tflash= feed hF (TDP + TBP)/2. For this flash vaporization, determine the amount and composition of the vapor and liquid products for a feed rate of 100 mol/hr. For the hexane-heptane-octane system use the following Antoine Eqn. with constants to compute the T and Tp in part (a) of the problem. B log0Pi T + C where p (in mmHg) is vpor pressure of component i, T in 2 = TF, PF A Heater M For this problem, you can use Antoine equation for estimating K-values of the components. Using Excel or MATLAB, solve this problem.
