The following mixture of hydrocarbons is obtained as one stream in a petroleum refinery on a mole basis: 5% ethane, 10% propane, 40% n-butane, 45% isobutane. Assuming the shortcut K-ratio model:.
a. Compute the bubble point of me mixture at 5 bar.
b. Compute the dew point of the mixture at 5 bar.
c. Find the amounts and compositions of the vapor and liquid phases that would result if this mixture were isothermally flash-vaporized at 30°C from a high pressure to 5 bar.
