Chapter 13.3, Problem 30P
Separation units often use membranes, absorbers, and other devices to reduce the mole fraction of selected constituents in gaseous mixtures. Consider a mixture of hydrocarbons that consists of 60 percent (by volume) methane, 30 percent ethane, and 10 percent propane. After passing through a separator, the mole fraction of the propane is reduced to 1 percent. The mixture pressure before and after the separation is 100 kPa. Determine the change in the partial pressures of all the constituents in the mixture.
