Question: 8 ) The off - gas from a reactor in a process plant has been condensing and plugging the vent line, causing a dangerous pressure

8) The off-gas from a reactor in a process plant has been condensing and plugging the vent line, causing a dangerous pressure buildup in the reactor. Plans have been made to pass the gas directly from the reactor into a cooling condenser in which the gas and liquid condensate will be brought to 25\deg C. An elemental analysis indicates that the gas formula is CsH120 and the off-gas flow rate is given as 235 m / at 116\deg C and 1 atm. You take a sample of the gas and cool it to 25\deg C, where it solidifies. You then heat the solidified sample at 1 atm and note that it melts at 52\deg C and boils at 113\deg C.Indicate the steps needed, calculations required, and any assumptions made to determine the heat removal rate required to bring the off-gas from 116\deg C to 25 degrees celsius. How coukd you furtger reduce the cost of tge energy removal rate?
