Question: This problem uses the Peng - Robinson property calculator to evaluate the inlet / outlets of a heat exchanger and find the molar flow ratio

This problem uses the Peng-Robinson property calculator to evaluate the inlet/outlets of a heat
exchanger and find the molar flow ratio of stream B to stream A. The stream A consists of water and
is at a pressure of 0.24MPa and it enters at 724K and leaves at 526K. Stream B is nitrogen gas at a
pressure of 1.2MPa and enters at a temperature of 342K and exits at 455K. The reference state is
HR=0 and SR=0 for the real fluid equilibrium state of aggregation at 298.15K,0.1MPa.
Note: One of your specified streams may be water. The Peng-Robinson EOS is not particularly
accurate for water, but if you are assigned water, you are asked here to use the Peng-Robinson EOS
as a learning tool for an approximate calculation.
A) What is the enthalpy of water entering the heat exchanger in stream A(Jmol)?
Tries 04
B) What is the enthalpy of water exiting the heat exchanger in stream A(Jmol)?
Tries 04
C) What is the enthalpy of nitrogen gas entering the heat exchanger in stream B(Jmol)?
Tries 04
D) What is the enthalpy of nitrogen gas exiting the heat exchanger in stream B(Jmol)?
