Question: A partial condenser is used as a pre - separator for ethanol and water. This is operated at 9 8 kPa and 8 2 C

A partial condenser is used as a pre-separator for ethanol and water. This is operated at 98 kPa and 82C. If the feed is saturated vapor (98kPa) at 100kghr and the liquid flow rate out is three times the vapor flow rate out, determine the composition of the feed and two exit streams as well as the energy removed from the feed stream to create the condensate.
