Chapter 15, Problem 15.12P
n-Heptane(l) and water (2) are essentially immiscible as liquids. A vapor mixture containing 65-mol-% water at IOO°C and 101.33 kPa is cooled slowly at constant pressure until condensation is complete. Construct a plot for the process showing temperature vs. the equilibrium mole fraction of heptane in the residual vapor. See Table B.2 for vapor-pressure equations.

The reaction conversion rate is 35%. The temperature increase in heat exchanger 2 is adiabatic. A fresh stream of pure ethylbenzene (25°C) enters a mixing vessel, where it is combined with a recycle stream (from the distillation column, as explained later), which also consists of pure ethylbenzene at 25°C. After mixing, the stream is sent to a heat exchanger (HX1), where the mixture is heated to 200°C. Next, the mixture enters an adiabatic heat exchanger (HX2), where it is further heated to 300°C by adding steam (at 350°C). This steam is used to prevent side reactions and carbon deposition in the reactor. The heated mixture is then fed into the reactor, where the reaction takes place with a conversion rate of 35%. As a result, the mixture cools down to 260°C. The resulting mixture is then sent to HX4, where…arrow_forwardChemical Engineering Questionarrow_forward
