Question: For Excel / Python calculations, report the equation and constant values used at each step of the solution. Problem 1 ( 1 5 pts )

For Excel/Python calculations, report the equation and constant values used at each step of the solution.
Problem 1(15pts)
A chemical polishing process requires acetone vapor at T=95[C]. The inlet stream to the vaporization unit is at T=30[C]. The entire
process occurs at P=1atm and the heat is supplied with a steam driven heat exchanger. If the process requires 3[kghr] of acetone vapor,
find the heat required to generate the vapor, as well as the flow rate of saturated steam required to supply the heat. Assume that the inlet
steam is superheated at P=150kPa and T=120[C] and the outlet is a liquid/vapor mixture at P=100kPa with 20% of the mass in the
liquid phase.
Include the following information in your solution
A. Reference temperature for the vaporization process
B. Enthalpy path for the enthalpy of each acetone stream relative to the reference temperature.
C. Heat required to drive the vaporization process in units of kilowatts.
D. Mass flow rate of steam
