Consider 20 mol/s of CO fl owing through a heat exchanger at 100C and 0.5 bar. (a)

Consider 20 mol/s of CO fl owing through a heat exchanger at 100ºC and 0.5 bar.

(a) At what rate must heat be added (in kW) to raise the stream to 500ºC?

(b) Consider the same molar fl ow rate of n-hexane and the same rate of heat input calculated in part (a). Without doing any calculations, explain whether you expect the fi nal temperature of n-hexane to be greater or less than 500ºC.
