Chapter 3, Problem 3.40P
Interpretation Introduction
(a)
Interpretation:
The flowrate of the gas stream leaving the condenser should be calculated
Concept introduction:
It is given that a gas stream contains 18 mole% hexane (rest is nitrogen), this stream is passed through a condenser where some of the hexane is liquefied. The stream properties are given as,
The hexane mole fraction of gas stream leaving the condenser is 0.05 while the liquid condensate is recovered at 1.5 L/min.
Material balance at steady state is,
Material into the system = material out of the system
Interpretation Introduction
(b)
Interpretation:
The percentage of hexane recovered as the liquid should be calculated.
