A hydrocarbon feed consisting of a mixture of propane (20%), isobutene (30%), isopentane (20%), and n-pentane (30%) is fractionated at a rate of 100 kg/h into a distillate that contains all the propane and 78% of the isopentane in the feed. The mole fraction of isobutane in the distillate is 0.378. The bottom stream contains all the n-pentane fed to the unit. Determine the flow rate of the bottom stream. provide a flow chart with component and mass of each inlet and outlet

Propane is mixed with 20% excess air (propane air mixture is initially at 25 °C and 2.0 atm) and combusted at atmospheric pressure. It is assumed that the heat transfer between the chamber and the surroundings is negligible. In addition, you may assume that heat capacities of the gases are constant and that the reaction proceeds to 100% conversion.
