A flow system first mixes 10 mol/min each of pure liquids of Species A (Stream 1) and Species B (Stream 2) to form a mixture (Stream 3). The mixture then passes through an expansion that reduces the pressure such that the liquid is converted to a vapor liquid mixture (Stream 4). A vapor-liquid separator then separates the two-phase stream into its component vapor (Stream 5) and liquid (Stream 6). All streams are at 350 K. Pure A Stream 1 10 mol/min Vapor Stream 5 Stream 3 Stream 4 Vapor- Mixer Expansion Liquid Separator Liquid Stream 6 Pure B Stream 2 10 mol/min The following data is given for these species at 350 K: Ra=3 bar Past = 5 bar You initially assume that the vapor can be treated as an ideal gas and the liquid can be treated as an IDEAL SOLUTION. You measure the mole fraction of species A in one of the two streams leaving the separator as 0.60. What are the pressure, composition, and molar flowrate of streams 4, 5, and 6 (fill in all open boxes)?
