A liquid feed at 4.0 atm absolute pressure is fed to a distillation tower.
The feed composition is as follows:
n-butane (40%), n-pentane (25%), n-hexane (20%), n-heptane (15%)
Calculate the bubble-point and the composition of the vapor in equilibrium with the liquid.
Equilibrium K values for this system are plotted in the chart given below.
So the professor used some symbols that were not clearly covered in class. if you could please solve using symbols in the image below, and please explain how the variable Kc and alpha were found? thank you.

The vapor-liquid equilibrium for n-pentane and n-hexane at 1 ATM is well approximated using a constant relative volatility of 2.95. CMO is valid. For all the problems, the feed stream is flowing at 80 mol/s and contains 45 mol% n-pentane, the feed is a saturated liquid (q = 1) at the column pressure, the distillate is 95 mol% n-pentane, and the bottoms is 10 mol% n-pentane. In this problem, you should analyze the column graphically using the McCabe-Thiele Method a....
CONFIDENTIAL BKC/1617/BKF2343 QUESTION 1 An equimolar vapor mixture of n-pentane and n-hexane at 110°C and 1 atm is fed into a condenser at a rate of 200 L min When the feed is cooled and compressed in the condenser, some of the vapor is condensed. The products are separated and discharged in separate streams. The vapor and liquid products at the top and the bottom of the condenser are(in equilibrium at 60°C and pressure P mmHg. The vapor product stream...
