Find the mole fractions of liquid and vapor products


We are separating a mixture of methanol and water in a flash drum at 1atm pressure. Using the equilibrium data, Feed rate is 10 kmol/h a) The feed is 40 mol % methanol and 60% of the feed is vaporized. Find mole fractions and flow rates of vapor and liquid products. Estimate the temperatures by linear interpolation for both vapor and liquid products. b) The feed is 40 mol% methanol, the product temperatures are both 78 degrees celcius. Find the mole fractions of liquid and vapor products and V/F c) We desire a vapor product that is 80 mol% methanol and want to operate at V/F = 0.3. What must the feed composition be?
