A compressed liquid feed stream containing an equimolar mixture of n-butane and isobutene flows into a flash unit at flow

rate F. At steady state, 40% of the feed stream is vaporized and leaves the drum as a vapor stream with flow rate V. The rest leaves as liquid with flow rate L. If the flash pressure is 1 bar, what is the temperature required? What are the composition of the liquid and vapor exit streams?

An equimolar solution of n-butane and n-pentane passes through a flash unit, where 30% of the feed stream is vaporized at steady-state. What flash temperature would be required to achieve this, given that the flash pressure is 1 bar? Use the ideal property method for calculations.
A feed stream containing a mixture of 40% n-butane, 30% n-pentane, and 30% n-hexane flows into a flash unit. The flash temperature is 290 K and the flash pressure is 0.6 bar. What is the ratio of the exit vapor flow rate to the feed flow rate? What are the compositions of the exit streams?

A solution of the following composition is fed into a two-outlet flash unit. 33 mole % n-hexane 37 mole % n-heptane and 30 mole % n-octane The flash temperature is 105 C and the flash pressure is 121.6 kPa (1.2 atm). What is the ratio of the vapour stream exiting the flash unit to the feed flow rate? What are the compositions of the streams? Use the ideal property method for calculations. *

50% n-butane, 30% n-pentane, and 20% n-pentane is fed into a flash unit. The flash temperature is 15 C and the flash pressure is 0.5 bar. What is the ratio of the vapour stream exiting the flash unit to the feed flow rate? What are the compositions of the streams? Use the ideal property method for calculations.
