Question:

A stream of carbon monoxide flowing at 300 kg/min is cooled from 450°C to 50°C at a low pressure. 

(a) Calculate the required rate of cooling (kW), using the enthalpy function of APEx. Check the calculation using the heat capacity formula in Table B.2. 

(b) State all the assumptions you made in Part (a). Where in the calculation did you make use of the fact that the cooling was done at a low pressure?


Table B.2

TABLE B.2 Heat Capacities Form 1: C,[kJ/(mol-C)] or [kJ/(mol·K)] = a + bT + cT + dT Form 2: C,[kJ/(mol-C)] or [kJ/(mol-K)] = a + bT + cT? Example: (C,)acetone(e) = 0.07196 + (20.10 x 10-$)r - (12.78 x 10-8)7? + (34.76 x 10-12)Tr*, where T is in °C. %3D
