Question: ( 2 5 points ) Propane gas enters a continuous adiabatic heat exchanger at 4 0 C and 2 5 0 kPa and exits at

(25 points) Propane gas enters a continuous adiabatic heat exchanger at 40C and 250kPa and exits
at 240C. Superheated steam at 300C and 5.0 bar enters the exchanger flowing countercurrently to
the propane and exits as a saturated liquid at the same pressure.
(a) Taking as a basis 100mol of propane fed to the exchanger, draw and label a process flowchart.
(b) Choose the reference conditions for propane and water and prepare an inlet-outlet enthalpy table
(c) Use an energy balance to calculate the required mass feed rate of the steam.
(d) Calculate the heat transferred from the water to the propane (in kW).
