Please answer parts A through E below, including the diagram for part B. Thank you!
(50 points) Let us calculate the compositions and quantities of the gas and liquid when 1 mole of the following mixture is brought to equilibrium at 160F and 245 psia. Raoult's law is assumed to be valid in this question.
a.(10 points) The vapor pressure is 385.7 psia for C3,121.5a for nC4, and 2.5 psia for nC8 at 160F. See below for the vapor pressure curves for the three components using an equation of state. Calculate the K values for the three components at 160F and 245 psia, assuming Raoult's law.
b.(10 points) Plot the Rachford-Rice (RR) function. In your figure, the y axis should be the RR function, and the x axis be "v" the vapor-phase mole fraction. Indicate the values for "v" at poles of the RR function, if any. What is the mole fraction for the vapor phase (i.e.,v that satisfies the RR equation)?
c.(10 points) Calculate the compositions for the vapor and liquid phases using the root from part b.
d.(10 points) On the basis of Raoult's law, estimate the bubble-point and dew-point pressures at 160F for this 3-component mixture.
e.(10 points) You mixed x mol% of pure propane with (100-x) mol % of the ternary mixture (given in the table). This new mixture was brought to equilibrium at 160F and 300a, and you found that this is a bubble point. Find the value for x. You are assuming Rault's law for this question; you do not use an equation of state here.
