A vapor mixture of -butane (B) and -heptane (H) contains 40.0 mole% butane at 80°C enters a condenser at a rate 4 kg/s. Liquid and vapor product streams emerge from the process in equilibrium at 40◦C. The vapor product has a 45.0 mole% butane composition. Determine: a. The pressure in the condenser b. The composition and flowrate (mol/s) of the liquid stream c. During operation, the system contains a 3m depth of the liquid phase (S.G. = 1.41) at any given time. If the maximum pressure the vessel floor joints can handle is 1 bar, will the tank rupture?
