1. The attached drawing 01-A-005/1 is a process flow diagram (PFD) for one small section of a much larger butane isomerization plant. PFDs are normally printed on 11"x17" sheets of paper. For this problem we will focus on an energy balance around the feed cooler E-301. a) Assuming that stream 13 is composed entirely of isobutane calculate the flowrate of boiler feed water (stream 24) required to produce the same phase and temperature changes shown on the drawing. (You may want to use Kopp's rule to estimate the liquid phase heat capacity for isobutane) b) How does your answer to part a) compare to what is shown on the drawing when stream 13 is a mixture?
