Question: . An air stream containing acetone vapor with a temperature of 1 8 0 deg C and a pressure of 1 . 5 atm

. An air stream containing acetone vapor with a temperature of 180\deg C and a pressure of 1.5 atm can be fed to a condenser at a speed of 150 L/s. In the concentrator, most of the acetone is liquefied. The liquid and gas outlet streams are in equilibrium at -20\deg C and 6 atm pressure. The settings applied by the system during the compression process, which allows the pressure to be increased from 1.5 to 6 atm, is 27 kW. To determine the composition of the gas stream fed to the condenser, a 4 L gas sample was scanned and cooled to a temperature that would allow all acetone to separate from it in liquid form. The amount of acetone that became liquid was measured as 0.98 g.
Perform a degree of freedom analysis for this system. Show that there is sufficient data to calculate the composition of all currents and the heat transfer rate (Q) required.
Using the information given in the question, calculate the total moles of the entering gas mixture, the fraction of acetone in the entering stream, and the fraction of acetone in the exiting gas stream.
Write equations for acetone, air and energy and create a set of equations. Solve this set with MATLAB or Python. Take a printout of the code you wrote and your results and attach it to your assignment. (Please do not write the code by hand.). Also upload your files with .py or .m extension to Ninova.
