Question: The system shown in Figure is used to cool the reactor effluent and separate the light gases from the heavier hydrocarbons. K-values for the components

The system shown in Figure is used to cool the reactor effluent and separate the light gases from the heavier hydrocarbons. K-values for the components at 500 psia and 100?F are

(a) Calculate the composition and flow rate of the vapor leaving the flash drum.

(b) Does the flow rate of liquid quench influence the result? Prove your answeranalytically.
