Use Fig 23-2 to obtain the gal/lb mole for each of the components. Multiply these values by the mole fraction of each
component and divide by 379.49 scf/mol to get gallons per standard cubic foot of gas. Then multiply this value by 1000 to get
the GPM of each component. The total GPM is 3.11.

For the recoveries specified the net gal/day and residue composition can be found as shown in the spreadsheet above

In order to compute the HHV of the two streams, the HHVs of each component are found in Fig. 23-2. Multiplying the
individual HHVs by the mole % gives the total HHV of 1115.02 for the feed gas and 971.24 for the residue gas.

The shrinkage volume can be found by the difference of the volume of the feed gas times the HHV and the volume of the
residue gas times its HHV. This volume is multiplied by $4/MMBTU to get the shrinkage value of the NGLs.

Flowrate is at standard conditions of 14.696 psia pressure and 60 degrees Fahrenheit.
