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 contains 70 mole% n-pentane. l.p Label the process flowchart and perform the degree-of-freedom analysis a) (10 Marks) Determine the pressure P, the composition of the liquid product and the molar flow b) rates of liquid and vapor products streams. (20 Marks)
