    This document outlines a problem simulating a flash-drum using methanol, n-butanol, and water. Stream 1 contains 0.4 kmol/hr of methanol and 0.6 kmol/hr of n-butanol at 80C and 1 atm. Stream 2 contains 1 kmol/hr of water at 50C and 1 atm. The streams are mixed and pumped into the flash-drum operating at 1.5 atm and 100C to separate into vapor and liquid phases.

    PROBLEM STATEMENT: In this problem, we are simulating a flash-drum using 3

    components methanol, n-butanol and water. As per given we have 2 streams, first containing
    methanol & n-butanol & second one of water which are mixed thoroughly using a mixer
    which is then flash into a column by passing through a pump.
