Binary Flash [30 points]
We have a feed that is a binary mixture of methanol and water (52% methanol) that is sent a system of two flash drums hooked together as shown below. The vapor from the first drum is cooled, which partially condenses the vapor, and then fed to the second flash drum. Both drums operate at 1 atm and are also adiabatic. The same x-y diagram (below) is applicable for both drums. The feed rate to the first drum is 1000 kmolh. We desire liquid product from first drum to be 20-mol% methanol ). The second drum operates at a VF=0.2. Use the methanol-water system at 1atm given in the second page.
a) Find the vapor mole fraction y1, fraction vaporized (VF)1 and vapor flow rate V1 for the first drum
b) Find the vapor mole fraction y2. liauid mole fraction x2 and vapor flow rate V2 for the second drum
