Question: A gas containing methane, ethane, and carbon dioxide is analyzed with a gas chromatograph (GC) and flame ionization detector (FID): the GC separates the components

A gas containing methane, ethane, and carbon dioxide is analyzed with a gas chromatograph (GC) and flame ionization detector (FID): the GC separates the components of the gas and the FID registers signals proportional to the amount of each hydrocarbon (but not CO2) in its sample chamber factor equation of state with either tabulated compressibility factors or a generalized compressibility chart for a single species and Kay’s rule for a non ideal mixture of gases. Given a description of a process system in which a volumetric flow rate is either specified or requested for any process stream. (a) carry out the degree-of-freedom analysis, including density estimates for liquid and solid streams and equations of state for gas streams; (b) write the system equations and outline the procedure you would use to solve for all requested quantities; (c) carry out the calculations; (d) List all your assumptions (e.g., volume additively for liquids or ideal gas behavior) and state whether or not they are reasonable for the given process conditions.
