The stream below is flashed adiabatically across a valve. Conditions upstream are 250F and 500 psia, and downstream are 300 psia. Compute using a process simulator the: 

(a) Phase condition upstream of the valve; 

(b) Temperature downstream of the valve; 

(c) Molar fraction vaporized downstream of the valve; and 

(d) Molefraction compositions of the vapor and liquid phases downstream of the valve.
