Question: You have a feed mixture with 2 0 mole % propane, 3 5 mole % n - butane, and 4 5 % n - pentane

You have a feed mixture with 20 mole % propane, 35 mole % n-butane, and 45% n-pentane (propane is most volatile). The feed is a saturated vapor. F=100kg moles ?hr,LD=2.0. You desire 98.8% recovery of n- butane in the distillate and 99.3% recovery of n-pentane in the bottoms.
3.1. Find distillate and bottoms flow rates. Explicitly state any assumptions you make.
3.2. Draw the calculated total flow rate profiles for 2.1, labeling your curves. Assume CMO.
3.3. For 2.1, show the approximate concentration profiles for propane, n-butane, and n-pentane. Label your
curves.
