Consider a simple 3-component flash separation system as illustrated by the process flow sheet below. The feed could contain hexane, heptane, and octane. Here, i F stands for the inlet mass flow rate of stream i (e.g., in kg/hr) and inj is the mass fraction of species j in stream i. Using matrix calculation, compute for the mass flow rate for each outlet stream that can be denoted as x1, x2, x3. (

Question

3. Consider a simple 3-component flash separation system as illustrated by the process flow
sheet below. The feed could contain hexane, heptane, and octane. Here, i
F stands for the
inlet mass flow rate of stream i (e.g., in kg/hr) and inj is the mass fraction of species j in
stream i. Using matrix calculation, compute for the mass flow rate for each outlet stream
that can be denoted as x1, x2, x3. (
