Question-1 Hypo components generation

In this question it is asked to generate 15 hypo components using assay type ASPM D86. But in the aspen tool selecting assay basis to mass and assay data type to ASTM D86 simultaneously showing error and it automatically selecting liquid volume instead of mass. So I have taken TBP as assay data type.

The generated hypo components are given below.

Question-2: Yield percent/ Yield fraction determination

Shortcut distillation column:

The yield fractions of kerosene, diesel, gasoline, atmospheric gas oil and heavy residues are determined for a specific cut point temperature values. The values are shown below.

Simulation file is attached to for further information.
