2. Benzene vapor at 580C is cooled and converted to a liquid at 25C in a continuous condenser. The
condensate is drained into 1.75 m3 drums each of which takes 2.0 minutes to fill. Calculate the rate
(kW) at which heat is transferred from the benzene in the condenser.
3. A stream of water vapor flowing at a rate of 250 mol/hr is brought from 600C and 10 bar to 100C
and 1 atm. Estimate the required cooling rate (kW) in three ways:
a) From the steam table
b) Using heat capacity data table
c) Using specific enthalpy data table
4. 20 kmol / hour of air is cooled from 500C to 200C. Calculate the required heat removal rate in (kJ/h) by:
a) Integration of heat capacity.
b) Using specific enthalpies tables provided.
5. Determine the specific enthalpy (kJ/mol) of n-hexane vapor at 200C and 2.0 atm relative to n-hexane
liquid at 20C and 1.0 atm, assuming ideal gas behavior for the vapor. Show clearly the process path you
construct for this calculation and give the enthalpy changes for each step.

1. A liquid stream containing mixture of 67.0 mole% benzene (C6H6) and the balance toluene (C7H8) is
fed into an evaporator at 90C. Due to the reduced pressure in the evaporator, a portion of the mixture
evaporates to form vapor. The liquid product contains 34.5 mole% toluene and the balance benzene.
The vapor product emerges at a rate of 35.0 mol/s containing 71.4 mole% benzene and the balance
toluene. Both liquid and vapor product streams are in equilibrium at 55C. Neglect the effects of
pressure changes on enthalpies
(a) Draw and fully label a process flowchart.
(b) Taking [benzene (l, 90C), toluene (l, 90C)] as reference for enthalpy calculations, prepare and
fill in the inlet-outlet enthalpy table and calculate the required heat input rate in kilowatts.
2. Liquid feed containing acetone and toluene containing 66.9 mole% acetone vapor and the balance toluene
at 65 C is partially condensed out of the toluene. The vapor product contains 90.8 mol % toluene while the
liquid product contains only pure acetone. Both vapor and liquid product exits the condenser at 20 C.
Assume total feed rate as 200 mol/s. Neglect the effects of pressure changes on enthalpies.
a) Draw and fully label a process flowchart.
b) Taking [acetone (v, 20C), toluene (v, 20C)] as reference for enthalpy calculations, prepare and
fill in the inlet-outlet enthalpy table and calculate the required heat input rate in kilowatts.
3. A gas stream containing 36.37 mole% of n-hexane is fed to a condenser at 75C. The liquid product
stream contains 100% n-hexane. A flowchart for the process is given below.

hundred mol/s of propane at 25C is combusted with air that has been preheated to 300C, and fed to
the reactor at 1 atm. The reactor has two output streams emerges at 800C and 1 atm. Analysis of the
