The outlet gas stream of a process contains acetic acid vapor and air, at 31°C and atmospheric pressure, 53% saturated. The stream flowing at 534 L/min enters a compressor where its pressure is increased 35 times the initial pressure. A heat exchanger helps remove some of the heat generated, keeping the outlet gas at 73°C. Determine the molar flow rate of the condensate from this process. Type your answer in mol/min, 3 decimal places

Transcribed Image Text:The outlet gas stream of a process
contains acetic acid vapor and air, at 31°C
and atmospheric pressure, 53% saturated.
The stream flowing at 534 L/min enters a
compressor where its pressure is
increased 35 times the initial pressure. A
heat exchanger helps remove some of the
heat generated, keeping the outlet gas at
73°C. Determine the molar flow rate of the
condensate from this process.
Type your answer in mol/min, 3 decimal
places
