Chapter 6, Problem 6.24P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The condenser temperature and the required nitrogen flowrate should be calculated.

Concept introduction:

The Ideal Gas Law is defined as,

$PV=nRT$

Where, the volume (V) occupied by ‘n’ moles of any gas has a pressure (P) at temperature (T) in Kelvin and ‘R’ = Gas constant

Antoine equation

Antoine equations describe the relationship between vapor pressure and temperature for pure components. This is a semi-empirical relationship.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The final gas temperature and the ratio of volumetric flow rates should be calculated.

Concept introduction:

The Ideal Gas Law is defined as,

$PV=nRT$

Where, the volume (V) occupied by ‘n’ moles of any gas has a pressure (P) at temperature (T) in Kelvin and ‘R’ = Gas constant

Antoine equation

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The factors need to know to determine which process is most cost effective should be explained.
