A separator divides a process stream into three phases: a liquid
organic stream, a liquid aqueous stream, and a gas stream. The feed
stream contains three components, all of which are present to some
extent in the separated streams. The composition and flow rate of
the feed stream are known. All the streams will be at the same
temperature and pressure. The phase equilibria for the three phases
is available. How many design variables need to be specified in
order to calculate the output stream compositions and flow
rates
