Question

Problem:

A mixture of 3 substances (A, B, and C) is isothermally flashed at 200 K and 110 kPa. The mixture has an overall composition of z₁=0.25, z₂=0.55, and z₃=0.20. The saturated pressures of the pure species at the given conditions are ?₁^??? = 195.75, ?₂^??? = 97.84 ??? ?₃^??? = 50.32. Assume that Raoult’s law is valid.

(a) Explain why flash calculations can be performed for this system.

(b) Determine V/F, L/F, x_i, and y_i for the mixture.

Request:

Can you please provide an algorithm as to how I can solve problems a and b with this three-component mixture?
