In an isobaric condenser operating at 1 atm, a stream of 20 kmol/hr of acetone is supplied at T = 100C, and 18 kmol/hr of acetone are recovered as condensed fraction, with the balance in the vapour phase. Both fractions leave the condenser at T = 20. Taking acetone liquid at T = 20C and P=1 atm as the reference state, (i) Plot a flow diagram of the reactor and calculate all flow rates in the system. (ii) Calculate the enthalpy rate of the inlet stream in KW, AH, (iii) Calculate the enthalpy rate of the vapour outlet stream in kW, AH,. (iv) Calculate the heat rate exchanged, 0, by the condenser in kW
