Question: 1 . A gas stream containing 4 0 mol % H 2 , 4 0 mol % CO 2 and the balance water vapor at

1. A gas stream containing 40 mol % H2,40 mol % CO2 and the balance water vapor at 500\deg C fed to a condenser at a rate of 2.5 SCMH. The gas and liquid streams leaving the condenser are in equilibrium at 15oC and 1 atm. Assume that all of the water vapor is condensed to liquid water (not a good assumption) and that there is no dissolved gases in the condensed water.
a) Draw and label the above process flow diagram completely.
b) Calculate the rate (kw) at which heat must be transferred from the condenser.
c) Show that the assumption of total condensation of the water vapor is invalid
