1) Three components (A, B, C) enter a mixer (Mixer #1) at a flow rate of 100 kg/hr, with mass fractions of (A = 0.2, B = 0.3). The stream is diluted with another input stream going into Mixer #1, comprised of pure component A. The exit stream, which contains all three components, is fed to a second mixer (Mixer #2), where it is also diluted with another input stream, comprised of pure component B. The final exit stream has a concentration of xA = 0.5, xB = 0.4. Perform a DFA and solve for all unknown flow rates and compositions

Question

1) Three components (A, B, C) enter a mixer (Mixer #1) at a flow rate of 100 kg/hr, with mass fractions of (A = 0.2, B = 0.3). The stream is diluted with another input stream going into Mixer #1, comprised of pure component A. The exit stream, which contains all three components, is fed to a second mixer (Mixer #2), where it is also diluted with another input stream, comprised of pure component B. The final exit stream has a concentration of xA = 0.5, xB = 0.4. Perform a DFA and solve for all unknown flow rates and compositions

2) Two streams, each carrying three components (A, B, C) enter a mixer (Mixer #1). The first has a flow rate of 150 lbmol/hr, with mole fractions of (yA = 0.15, yB = 0.35), whilst the second has a composition of (yA=0.2, yB=0.3). The exit stream from Mixer #1 has a composition of yA = 0.19, and enters a second mixer (Mixer #2), where it is also fed with another stream of composition yA=0.5, yB=0.4. The exit steam from Mixer #2 has a molar flow rate that is eight times that of in initial feed stream. Perform a DFA and solve for all unknown flow rates and compositions
