Consider a 100 kmol/h mixture of 20 % ethane, 50% propane, 30% n-butane. determine all k values and the complete the tables below by using the flash function and newton’s method to answer the following questions.
a. will this mixture flash at 25 psia and -10◦ f? show in part d why or why not?
b. what are the total vapor and liquid amounts and compositions resulting from the flash at a temperature -10 °f and 25 psia? clearly show your intermediate steps using the next page. component ki
c. write the equation for the flash function
d. write the equation for the derivative of the flash function of species i
e. write the equation for the liquid mole fraction for species i.
