Liquid benzene and liquid n-hexane are blended to form a stream flowing at a rate of 1000 lbm/h. An on-line densimeter (an instrument used to determine density) indicates that the stream has a density of 0.850 g/ml. Using specific gravities from Table B.1, estimate the mass and volumetric feed flow rates of the two hydrocarbons to the mixing vessel (in American engineering units).

Question
Liquid benzene and liquid n-hexane are blended to form a stream flowing at a rate of
1000 lbm/h. An on-line densimeter (an instrument used to determine density) indicates that
the stream has a density of 0.850 g/ml. Using specific gravities from Table B.1, estimate
the mass and volumetric feed flow rates of the two hydrocarbons to the mixing vessel (in
American engineering units).
