The overhead vapour from a distillation column is taken to a condenser where it is condensed by heat exchange with cooling water that enters at 300 K and leaves at 310 K. The vapour can be treated as pure water vapour at 101.3 kPa. Its flow rate is 5000 kg/h. It is condensed and subcooled to 345 K. If the condenser were replaced by a reversible engine calculate the following: (a) The work output of the engine (b) The per cent reduction in the cooling water circulation rate when the condenser is replaced with Carnot engine

Question
The overhead vapour from a distillation column is taken to a condenser where it is condensed
by heat exchange with cooling water that enters at 300 K and leaves at 310 K. The vapour can
be treated as pure water vapour at 101.3 kPa. Its flow rate is 5000 kg/h. It is condensed and
subcooled to 345 K. If the condenser were replaced by a reversible engine calculate the
following:
(a) The work output of the engine
(b) The per cent reduction in the cooling water circulation rate when the condenser is replaced
with Carnot engine
