SOLVE USING EXCEL

Given: #1a: Use the following reactor product flow rates out of the SRR for the energy balance: CH4: 175kmol/h, H2O: 3156kmol/h, CO: 1205kmol/h, H2: 4493kmol/h, CO2: 219kmol/h. #3: Use a water vapor flow rate of 21 kmol/h out of the third condenser (before the MUG compressor). The overall liquid water removal rate is 56,500 kg/h. rate of heat transfer into the steam reformer reactor=-2058693.985kJ/hr. Flow rate of natural gas=27379.7kmol/hr. Rate of steam generation by cooling down the burner effluent=-12432.11694kg/hr. Rate of steam generation by cooling the SRR reactor effluent=-4657826.174kg/hr.

3.) What are the temperatures of operation (in C) and the rates of heat removal (in kg/hr) for each of the three condensers designed to remove water from the SRR product stream? Assume that each condenser removes one-third of the total water quantity separated. Why is this process broken into three separate condensers as opposed to one larger one?
