Liquid propane is vaporized in a process before the gas is burned. a) If the inlet to the vaporizer unit (liquid propane) has a mass flow rate of 1000 kg/hr, what is the mass flow rate of the vapor stream exiting the unit? b) What do you know about the temperatures of the inlet and outlet streams? c) If 1000 kg/hr of liquid propane is mixed with an equimolar amount of heptane before entering the vaporizer unit, what is the inlet flow rate in kmol/hr? d) Predict what you might expect for the vaporizer inlet and outlet temperatures for this mixture. For all parts of this problem, assume patm = 1 atm.

Hi and thanks for the question, but you have posted multiple subparts, so we will answer the first 3 sub parts for you. If you need help for the other subparts please post them separately.
Given that,
Mass flow rate liquid propane min = 1000 kg/hr
It is required to calculate the mass flow rate of vapour stream exiting the vaporizer unit, temperature of inlet and outlet streams, and inlet flow rate if equimolar amount of heptane was added to the inlet stream
