A vertical flash drum is designed with a m, Ibm/hr feed consisting of n-hexane and n-octane. The
mass fraction of n-hexane in the feed stream is mf. The vertical flash drum will operate at TF
and P atm. Use the McWilliams equations shown in Equation 2-30 and Table 2-3 for K values.

A vertical flash drum is designed with a m, lbm/hr feed consisting of n-hexane and n-octane. The mass fraction of n-hexane in the feed stream is mf. The vertical flash drum will operate at T F and P atm.
