MOLE FRACTION
For component-1,
Y1 = N1 / NT
Y1 = (M1/MW1) / NT
From [Eq. 1-1],
X1 = M1/MT
M1 = X1* MT
Y1 = (X1*MT/MW1) / NT
Mole Fraction of component-1,
Y1 = (M1/MW1) / NT [Eq. 6-1a]
Y1 = (X1*MT/MW1) / NT [Eq. 6-1b]
Mole Fraction of component-2,
Y2 = (M2/MW2) / NT [Eq. 6-2a]
Y2 = (X2*MT/MW2) / NT [Eq. 6-2b]
Mole Fraction of component-3,
Y3 = (M3/MW3) / NT [Eq. 6-3b]
Y3 = (X3*MT/MW3) / NT [Eq. 6-3b]
