Arrange the steps of an isothermal flash calculation in the usual order.
1. solve the Rachford-Rice equation for the vapour fraction
2. check that the feed is actually between its bubble and dew points
3. compute the liquid and vapour compositions
4. estimate the K values at the given conditions

  • A.3 - 1 - 4 - 2
  • B.4 - 2 - 1 - 3
  • C.2 - 1 - 4 - 3
  • D.2 - 4 - 1 - 3

Answer: D

The check comes first because a feed outside that range is a single phase and the flash has no solution. Compositions follow once the vapour fraction is known, and the K values may then be updated and the loop repeated.
