ave a process stream (300 lbm/min) that contains 0.6 wt frac hexane and 0.4 wt frac octane. Our downstream unit needs a mixture that contains no more than 0.2 wt frac hexane in octane. If we mix this process stream with a pure stream of octane, what is the flow rate of pure octane needed to achieve our desired hexane composition?
