 A vertical flash drum is designed with a , Ibm/hr feed

A vertical flash drum is designed with a , Ibm/hr feed consisting of n-hexane and n-octane. The mass fraction of n-hexane in the feed stream is mf. The vertical flash drum will operate at T F and P atm. Use the McWilliams equations shown in Equation 2-30 and Table 2-3 for K values. Name m, lbm/hr T, F P, atm 280 2 267 276 2.01 1.88 1.89 1.52 K.
