The specific enthalpy of the saturated liquid and saturated vapor at 7atm are, Hl = 74.7 J/g and Hv = 239.2 J/g respectively. Consider combining a heat exchanger with the throttle valve. In particular, the gas cooled by throttling, but not liquefied, is used to cool the inlet gas before it enters the throttle valve. This is achieved in the arrangement with the unliqufied gas leaving the heat exchanger at 290K (stream5.) Stream 4 is still at Tsat and 7atm. Is it possible to achieve liquefaction?
