We flash distill a mixture that is (5.0 mathrm{~mol} %) methane, (12.3 mathrm{~mol} %) ethane, 11.5 (mathrm{mol}
Question:
We flash distill a mixture that is \(5.0 \mathrm{~mol} \%\) methane, \(12.3 \mathrm{~mol} \%\) ethane, 11.5 \(\mathrm{mol} \%\) n-butane, \(22.2 \mathrm{~mol} \%\) n-pentane, \(25.4 \mathrm{~mol} \mathrm{\%} \mathrm{n-hexane,} \mathrm{and} 23.6 \mathrm{~mol} \%\) n-heptane. Use Eq. (2-28) and a spreadsheet.
a. If \(\mathrm{p}=14.7 \mathrm{psia}\) and \(\mathrm{V} / \mathrm{F}=0.45\), what temperature is the drum at?
b. If \(\mathrm{T}_{\text {drum }}=110^{\circ} \mathrm{F}\) and \(\mathrm{p}=19.0 \mathrm{psia}\), find \(\mathrm{V} / \mathrm{F}\).
c. If \(\mathrm{T}_{\text {drum }}=135^{\circ} \mathrm{F}\) and \(\mathrm{V} / \mathrm{F}=0.62\), find \(\mathrm{p}_{\text {drum }}\).
