Propane gas enters a continuous adiabatic heat exchanger at 40 ºC and 250 kPa and exits at 240ºC.
Superheated steam at 300 ºC and 5.0 bar enters the exchanger flowing counter currently to the propane
and exits as a saturated liquid at the same pressure. (5+5+5+5)
i) Taking as a basis 100 mol of propane fed to the exchanger, draw and label a process
flowchart.
ii) Prepare an inlet–outlet enthalpy table for this process and calculate values of the specific
enthalpies.
iii) Use an energy balance to calculate the required mass feed rate of the steam.
iv) Calculate the heat transferred from the water to the propane (kJ/m propane fed).
