A flash drum is separating a saturated liquid feed at 1 atm that is 50 mol%1-propanol (or n-propanol, component 1) and 50 mol% isopropanol (component 2) with F =1000 kmol/hr. The flash drum operates at 90\deg C and 1 atm. The Antoines equation for both components are
where Pisat is in mmHg and T is in \deg C.(a) Using the information above, determine the isopropanol composition.logP1sat=7.84767-1499.2T+204.64,logP2sat=8.11778-1580.9T+219.61
is in mmHg and T is in C
