Question: A process under design requires that (100 mathrm{1bmol} / mathrm{hr}) of toluene at (70^{circ} mathrm{F}) and (20 mathrm{psia}) be brought to (450^{circ} mathrm{F}) and 75

A process under design requires that \(100 \mathrm{1bmol} / \mathrm{hr}\) of toluene at \(70^{\circ} \mathrm{F}\) and \(20 \mathrm{psia}\) be brought to \(450^{\circ} \mathrm{F}\) and 75 psia. Develop at least three flowsheets to accomplish this using combinations of heat exchangers, liquid pumps, and/or gas compressors. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each flowsheet, and make a recommendation as to which flowsheet is best.
