Question: Problem 3 . We plan to liquify propane with the Linde process shown below. In brief, we compress a mixture of feed and recycle streams

Problem 3. We plan to liquify propane with the Linde process shown below. In brief, we compress a mixture of feed and recycle streams (1 and 9) to 80. bar, cool it to 480K, pass it through a heat exchanger for additional cooling, and throttle it to 1 bar. This process results in a vapor-liquid mixture. We collect the liquid fraction, and we pass the vapor fraction through the heat exchanger, which heats it to 470K.
a. What fraction of the mixed feed (i.e., stream 2) is liquified in the process?
b. Show the process on a P-H diagram that is on the next page.
