Question
Make a sketch:
A flash drum is used to reduce the temperature of a butane stream. The butane enters the drum at 35oC and 400 bar. Flashed butane vapor leaves the top of the drum and butane liquid leaves the bottom of the drum. The flash drum operation must be controlled to achieve an outlet temperature for both streams of –10oC
