The fi rst step in manufacturing isobutene from isomerization of n-butane is to compress the feed stream

Question:

The fi rst step in manufacturing isobutene from isomerization of n-butane is to compress the feed stream of n-butane. It is fed into the compressor at 9.47 bar and 80ºC and optimally exits at 18.9 bar and 120ºC, so that it can be fed into the isomerization reactor. The work supplied to the compressor is 2100 J/mol. Calculate the heat that needs to be supplied into the unit per mole of n-butane that passes through.
