A heat exchanger uses medium pressure steam at 10 bar and 350 C to heat cyclohexane vapor from 100 C up to 275 C as shown in the figure below. The steam is available at a flowrate of 32 kg/h and it condenses completely in the heat exchanger and exits as saturated liquid condensate at 10 bar. a) How much heat (in kW) can be provided by the steam? b) How much cyclohexane can be processed in kg/h?

Question
A heat exchanger uses medium pressure steam at 10 bar and 350 C to heat
cyclohexane vapor from 100 C up to 275 C as shown in the figure below. The
steam is available at a flowrate of 32 kg/h and it condenses completely in the
heat exchanger and exits as saturated liquid condensate at 10 bar.
a) How much heat (in kW) can be provided by the steam?
b) How much cyclohexane can be processed in kg/h?
