Question: Question 3 . Question 3 ( 1 5 ) A stream n 1 kmo l h r has a composition x 1 A = 0

Question 3.
Question 3(15)
A stream n1kmolhr has a composition x1A=0.65,x1B=0.35. It is mixed with a stream n5, with composition x5A=0.78,x5B=0.22. The combined stream is n2 and it enters a separator. The bottom stream that exits the separator is n3kmolhr and it has a composition x3A=0.3,x3B=0.7. The top stream is n4kmolhr and it has the same composition as n5, since n4 is split equally into a recycle stream n5 and a product stream with a flow rate of 150kmolhr.
1.Draw a schematic of the problem, and annotate it with all information, including your unknown values.
2. Solve the problem. Do a degree-of-freedom analysis before you present results, for each balance (total, mixing point etc.).
