A stream containing 15% ethane, 20% propane, x% n-butane and the balance i-butane flows at 100 lbmole/hr, 50°F and atmospheric pressure into a compressor unit. The mass fraction of n-butane is 1% or 0.01. There, the stream is compressed at constant temperature to 45 psia. The stream exiting the compressor flows into a cooler unit and is then cooled to 32°F at constant pressure. If condensation occurs, the resulting vapor and liquid are further separated in a separator unit.

Solve the problem using SRK and Peng-Robinson and submit answers for both.

Confirm that there are in fact two streams (liquid and vapor) in the product and determine the final compositions and conditions using HYSYS.
