Observaciones:
-poner lo de varias densidades, hasta 6 formas de cambiar las unidades
-hemos entrado en cada stream para ver las caracteristicas
-metodo hemos tenido que cambiarle porque nos daba error y hemos puesto
ideal.
-Era importante cambiar la presin final a 10, ya que se incrementa.

Example II: Water (W) and Acetic acid (HAc) liquid mixture
separation by Flash

We will try to separate by flash, 100 kmol/hr of a liquid


mixture of water (50% molar) and acetic (50 % molar) that is
available at 1 atm. The flash equipment is working at 1 atm
and T C.
Using the Method NRTL, please obtain:

1.- - Check and select the appropriate working Temperature


in the Flash
- Process Flow Diagram
2.- Boiling Point of pure components Water and Acetic Acid.
Is the Flash working below the critical point of the mixture ?
as and Critical temperature

Tcm = xi.Tci
