EXCERCISE
We have a stream containing 15% ethane, 20% propane, 60% i-butane and 5% n-butane at 50°F and
atmospheric pressure, and a flow rate of 100lbmole/hr. This stream is to be compressed to 50 psia
and then cooled to 32°F. The resulting vapor and liquid are to be separated as the two product
streams. Neglect the pressure drop inside the condenser. Fluid pkg: Peng Robinson. What are the
flow rates and molar compositions of two product streams? Create a case study to see the effect of
changing temperature of the cooler out stream on the molar flow of the liquid product stream, and
write your comment.
Answer
The Problem purpose to separate the heterogen reactant into two phase liquid and Vapour
Simulation needed
- Compressor
- Cooler
- Separator
Data :
- Component are 15% ethane, 20% propane, 60% i-butane and 5% n-butane
- Inlet : Stream 1 with 50°F and 1 atm , and a flow rate of 100lbmole/hr
- Outlet : Stream 2 , be compressed to 50 psia and then cooled to 32°F using Cooler
- Then, Using separsator.
- Case study : Temperature of the cooler and Molar Flow of Liquid
