b) A separator is used to separate four components of A,B,C and D. The feed to the separator contains 13wt%A,37.1wt%B,21.5wt%C and the balance is D. The products of the separator are two streams of different compositions. The upper product stream has a composition of 10.9wt%A and 39.5wt%B with C and D making up the remainder. The upper stream flows at 780kgh. The bottom product stream contains all four components with 25.9wt%B and 38.5wt%C.
i. Draw a process flow diagram of the process.
ii. Determine the flow rate of the inlet and bottom product stream.
iii. Determine the composition of components C and D at the upper stream and components A and D at the bottom stream.
 b) A separator is used to separate four components of A,B,C
