Example Problem 1 A 50/50 binary liquid mixture of benzene(1) and toluene(2) is flashed to 1.4-bar pressure, and 25% of the liquid vaporizes:
| Example Problem 2 A liquid that is 60% component 1 and 40% component 2 is flashed to 1210 kPa. The outlet temperature is 150ºC. The saturation pressures in kPa are:  (T in ºC)Calculate the fraction of effulent that is liquid and the compositions of the liquid and vapor phases. Assume the liquid is ideal. |
