Forming Mixtures

A device is being designed to separate a natural gas having a molar analysis of 94% CH4 and 6% C2H6 into components. The device will receive natural gas at 20°C, 1 atm with a volumetric flow rate of 100 m3/s. Separate streams of CH4 and C2H6 will exit, each at 20°C, 1 atm. The device will operate isothermally at 20°C. Ignoring kinetic and potential energy effects and assuming ideal gas behavior, determine the minimum theoretical work input required at steady state, in kW.
