 1. The feed to a distillation column is separated into net

1. The feed to a distillation column is separated into net overhead product containing nothing with a boiling point higher than isobutane and bottoms containing nothing with a boiling point below that of propane. Hint: In the overhead there is no nC5H12 or nC4H10, and in the bottoms there in no C2H4,C2H6, or C3H6+ The composition of isobutane in the overhead is 5.0 mole percent, and in the bottoms is 31.9 mole percent. 1. Draw a completely labeled flowchart for the above process 2. Do the degree of freedom analysis for the overall process 3. Assuming a basis of 100 moles of the feed, calculate the composition of the overhead and bottoms streams. 4. Scale up the process for 2255Ib mole/hr of the feed
