PLEASE ONLY ANSWER PARTS d, e, and f with steps. THANK YOU

We are separating a mixture of methanol and water in a flash drum at 1 atm pressure. Equilibrium data are listed in Table 28 below. a. Feed is 60.0 mol\% methanol, and 40.0% of the feed is vaporized. What is the vapor and liquid mole fractions (xm and ym, in mol\%) and flow rates ( V and L, in kmol/h) ? Feed rate is 100.0kmol/h. b. Repeat part a for a feed rate of 1500.0kmol/h. c. If the feed is 30.0 mol\% methanol and we desire a liquid product that is 20.0 mol\% methanol, what V/F must be used? For a feed rate of 1000.0lbmol/h, find product flow rates and compositions. d. We are operating the flash drum so that the liquid mole fraction is 45 mol\% methanol. L=1500.0kmol/h, and V/F=0.20. What must the flow rate and composition of the feed be? e. If z=0.4,pdrum=1.0atm, and Tdrum=77.0C, find V/F,xm, and ym. f. If F=50.0lbmol/h,z=0.8,pdrum=1.0atm, and ym=0.892 mole fraction methanol, find V,L, and xm. TABLE 2-8.
