Question: P 2 D 2 8 ( 3 e 4 e ) : Close to Ex . 2 - 4 but horizontal with 3 0 0

P2D28(3e4e): Close to Ex.2-4 but horizontal with 3000 lbmolh
A liquid mixture of n-hexane and n-octane is to be separated in a horizonta flash drum at 1atm pressure. The feed flowrate is B000lbmolh that is 40mol% n-hexane and 60mol% n-octane. We wish to produce a vapor that is 60mol%n-hexane. The bottom liquid product has 19mol%n-hexane, and VF=0.51(by mole). What size flash drum is required?
Data:
L=0.6960gml
V=0.00314gml
MWh=86.17
MWo=114.22
Kdrum=0.5541
Tdrum=378K
Assume vapors are ideal gas.
