Question:

One \(\mathrm{kmol} / \mathrm{s}\) of a feed containing \(20 \mathrm{~mol} \%\) furfural, \(75 \mathrm{~mol} \%\) water, and \(5 \mathrm{~mol} \%\) ethanol at \(105^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) and 3.0 bar is fed to a three-phase flash drum. The drum is at 1 bar and operates with \(\mathrm{V} / \mathrm{F}=0.4\). The key component in the second liquid (bottom of drum) is water. Find the outlet temperature, heat duty in \(\mathrm{kW}\), the ratio of the first liquid/total liquid, and the compositions of the three phases.
