Question: A 2 5 0 , 0 0 0 B P C D of crude oil has the TBP distillation data presented as volume percent distilled

A 250,000BPCD of crude oil has the TBP distillation data presented as volume percent distilled versus distillation temperature, C.
\table[[Vol.%,0,10,30,50,70,90],[TBP,C,35,160,250,260,390,505]]
The average boiling point of the crude oil is 290C and the API density is 28 degrees with a characterization factor, K equal to 11.33. Plot data on an Excel sheet. (2 mark)
a) Calculate the critical temperature, the critical pressure, and the eccentric factor. Using Excel spreadsheet. (1.5 marks)
b) Calculate the enthalpy of this crude oil (or furnace load) using the Lee-Kessler correlation with a reference state of ideal gas 298K if the crude is heated from 150 to 366C. Note: Use equations 3.38 to 3.41 of your textbook if needed in calculations. Use Excel. (5 marks)
c) If this crude oil is fed to a distillation column, how much Naphtha and kerosine are produced BPCD if the EP of naphtha is 120C and the IBP of Diesel is 248C?1.5 marks).
