A 2 kW watt electric heating coil is immersed in a stirred 100 L pilot scale tank. Toluene at 16 °C is fed into the tank at a rate of 50 L/hr and the heated solvent is discharged at the same flow rate. The vessel is initially filled with 60 L of solvent at 17 °C. Calculate the time required to heat the solvent to 40 °C. Cp.toluene= 1.717 kJ/kg.C Density, Ptoluene = 867 kg/m³ State all of the assumptions you are making about the system and include a flow diagram. NB: Make sure to include the marked up P-h diagram A 2 kW watt electric heating coil is immersed in a stirred 100 L pilot scale tank.
