The Sohar Refinery Company was set up in 2003 to construct, commission and operate a new grass roots refinery in Wilayat of Sohar, Oman. The refinery has an atmospheric distillation crude unit with a capacity to meet the current demands of various feed stocks required in the process industries around Oman. A refinery feed stock available at the rate of 10,115 mol/hr and the refinery feed stock consisting of C3-20%, i-C4-30%, i-C5-20%, n-C5-30% (all in mol%) is to be separated into two fractions by distillation. The distillate product is to contain all of the C3 fed to the unit and is to consist of 45% i-C4. The bottoms stream is to contain all the n-C5 fed to the unit.  Calculate the complete distillate and bottom analysis.
