4. There are two feed streams with n-butane, n-pentane and n-hexane with the following detail. Use mixing
block in Aspen for finding outlet stream composition and flowrates. Also notice various thermo-physical
properties of the three streams in Aspen results. Use SYPSO property method for given simulation.
