A
mixture of hydrocarbons (10 mol% methane, 20 mol% ethane, 30% mol% propane, 15
mol% isobutane, 20 mol% n-butane, and 5 mol% n-pentane) is flashed into a
separator at 80°F and 150 psia. Fifty percent of the mixture leaves as a
liquid. What is the composition of the liquid? Equilibrium constants are as
follows:
CH4 = 17.0 C2H6 = 3.1 C3H8 = 1.0
i-C4H10 = 0.44 C4H10 = 0.32 C5H12 = 0.0986
