The figure below shows a system to cool reactor effluent and separate light gases from hydrocarbons. K- values at 500 psia and 100 Fare given in the table: Ki Component H2 CH4 80 10 0.01 Benzene Toluene 0.004 For a fixed T and P of flash the liquid-cool flow rate indeed does not influence the overall product results. Explain why recycle of an flash tank equilibrium liquid does not affect the yields of vapor an liquid. (Note the flows shown in the diagram are the feed stream from the reactor not the recycle) Vapor Reactor effluent 1000F 500 F 200F 500 psia 100 F Ibmol/h H 2,000 CHA 2,000 Benzene 500 Toluene 100 4,600 Liquid Liquid quench
