Question: There is storage in a refinery unit where the feed is at a temperature of 8 0 degrees Celsius and a pressure of 1 4

There is storage in a refinery unit where the feed is at a temperature of 80 degrees Celsius and a pressure of 148 psi.
Temporarily saved.
The composition of the feed in the tank includes methane, ethane, propane, normal butane, normal pentane and normal hexane and their molar component composition
0.14,0.27,0.30,0.16,0.08,0.02, respectively.
We want to enter this feed into a distillation tower under the pressure of the mixture, so that the product vapor at the top of the tower contains 7.97% propane and
3.1% pentane. In this situation, calculate the following in relation to the distillery tower:
A) Estimate the minimum return flow ratio and the relative composition of the products?
b) Calculate the number of theoretical trays in full reverse flow and obtain the relative composition of the products in this state?
c) If the return flow ratio is chosen as 85.0, find the relative composition of the products in this ratio?
d) Determine the number of required trays and the location of the feed tray in the return flow ratio of 85.0?
e) Determine the bubble point on the feed tray in the above two situations?
and (calculate the thermal load of condenser and boiler as well as G/L ratios?
