Question: ( a ) The problem table cascade for a process is given in Table Q 2 ( a ) , with a minimum temperature difference

(a) The problem table cascade for a process is given in Table Q2(a), with a minimum
temperature difference (Tmin) of 10C.
Table Q2(a): Problem table cascade.
i. Construct a grand composite curve based on the given problem table cascade as
shown in Table Q2(a).

ii. Based on the grand composite curve, determine how much steam (kg*s-1) that can
be generated from the process at 120C, given that the enthalpy of the saturated
steam at 120C is 2202.2kJkg-1(assume sensible heat of water is negligible).

iii. Hot utility is provided by a hot oil circuit with supply and return temperatures of
400C and 380C respectively, with its heat capacity (CP) of 0.201MJ*kg-1.C-1.
Calculate the minimum flowrate of the required hot oil.
