Question: Problem 1 (Warm up - 20 points): High temperature methanol vapor at 600C is needed for a chemical reaction. a) How much heat, in kJ/hr

Problem 1 (Warm up - 20 points): High temperature methanol vapor at 600C is needed for a chemical reaction. a) How much heat, in kJ/hr is needed to heat 100 mol/hr of liquid methanol feed at 25C to a vapor at 600C if the feed and vapor are both at 1 atm of pressure? b) If the 600C methanol vapor was actually required at 3 atm of pressure, would you need more or less heat to produce it? Explain briefly. c) What is the change in molar internal energy (A) in kJ/mol between the entering and exiting streams?
