a. What is the composition of stream 3?
b. What is the flow rate of stream 4?
c. What is the composition of stream 1?
d. Given this arrangement of flash drums as well as the ability to change the temperature of each drum,
what is the maximum mol % P in stream 2? At what temperature should we operate flash drum 1?
e. If stream 2 is maximum mol % P what is the minimum mol % P that can be achieved in stream 5? At
what temperature should we operate flash drum 2?
f. If stream 2 is minimum mol % P what is the minimum and maximum mol % P that can be achieved
in stream 5?
