Question

Liquid n-pentane and liquid n-octane are mixed to form a stream flowing at a rate of 1,496.5 lbm/hr. An in-line density measurement determines the mixture density is 0.654 g/mL. Calculate the volumetric flow rate of the liquid n-pentane feed in cm3/sec. The specific gravities of n-pentane and n-octane are 0.631 and 0.708, respectively. Assume ideal mixing.

Answer 1

202.20 cm^3/s
