Q 4 : ( 2 5 Marks ) Methyl ethyl ketone ( MEK ) is to be recovered from a gas mixture containing 2 0

Q4:
(25 Marks)
Methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) is to be recovered from a gas mixture containing 20.0 mole% MEK and 80.0mole%N at 85C and 3.5atm. In a proposed process design, a stream of this mixture is fed to a condenser at a rate of 500Ls and is cooled to 15C at constant pressure, causing most of the MEK to condense where the effluent streams are in equilibrium.
(Assume the gas mixture in feed stream is ideal gas)(R=8.314JmolK)
Write the equations that simulate above process.
Perform the degree of freedom for process (List your answer in table).
3- Determine the flowrate and composition of unknown stream.
