CHE425: Problem set #41) Run program MCCABE. You need to copy the folder CHE425 into the H: drive or yourflash drive. Open the folder CHE425 and double click on DOSBox.exe. When the prompt“C:\>” appears, type MCCABE and press “ENTER” to run the program. Copy and reportthe score and performance number from the program. Type “e” or “exit” and press “ENTER”to exit the DOSBox program.2) A 1000 lb-mole per hour mixture of 5% methane, 20% ethane, 25% propane, 30% n-butane, and 20% n-pentane at 47 psia and 90F is to be separated by a flash drum. Write aMatlab program using the data in Table 2 to determine the fraction of the feed vaporized andthe compositions of the vapor and liquid streams leaving the flash drum. Compare the resultswith those from Provision.Table 2 Equilibrium K values for light hydrocarbon systems=============================================================(1) ln K = A/T2 + B  C ln(P) + D/P2(2) ln K = A/T2 + B  C ln(P) + D/P Compound A B C D Form=============================================================Methane 292860 8.2445 .8951 59.8465 (1)Ethane 687248.2 7.90694 .866 49.02654 (1)Propane 970688.6 7.15059 .76984 6.90224 (2)n-Butane 1280557 7.94986 .96455 0 (1)n-Pentane 1524891 7.33129 .89143 0 (1)========================================================3) The equilibrium data for the acetone (1)-water (2) system are given at 25oC as follows:x10.0194 0.0289 0.0449 0.0556 0.0939y10.5234 0.6212 0.7168 0.7591 0.8351P(mmHg) 50.1 61.8 81.3 91.9 126.1At 25oC the vapor pressures are: P1sat = 230.05 mmHg and P2sat = 23.76 mmHg.
