HW 3 - p 4.23 - VLE for Hydrocarbons Using K-Values - 5 pts

An equimolar mixture of ethane, propane, n-butane, and n-pentane is subjected to a flash vaporization at 150 oF and 205 psia. What are the expected amounts and compositions of the liquid and vapor products? Is it possible to recover 70% of the ethane in the vapor by a single-stage flash at other conditions without losing more than 5% of nC4 to the vapor?

You can now download a nice scanned image of Figure 2.8 from your textbook. The link is on the course homepage and the downloads page.
