Question: For a particular process, it is desired to have a gas phase stream of oxygen (O) plus equal molar flowrates of methane and water
For a particular process, it is desired to have a gas phase stream of oxygen (O) plus equal molar flowrates of methane and water (stream 4 below). To create the stream, a spray of liquid water is mixed adiabatically with a 60 mol/min stream of O plus methane. In the mixer, some of the water evaporates, saturating the stream, while the remainder stays liquid (in the form of very small liquid droplets called an aerosol). The stream is then heated in a heat exchanger using a hot exhaust stream containing CO and N. The whole process is represented in the flowchart below. Assume all streams are at 1 atm absolute pressure. Determine T, T4, and Q.
