Isopropanol (1) and water (2) are condensing in the presence of nitrogen (3) inside a vertical tube of \(2.54 \mathrm{~cm}\) inside diameter. At the vapor inlet, the bulk composition of the gas phase is \(11.23 \mathrm{~mol} \%\) isopropanol, \(42.46 \%\) water, and \(46.31 \%\) nitrogen. The interfacial vapor composition is \(14.57 \mathrm{~mol} \%\) isopropanol, \(16.40 \%\) water, and \(69.03 \%\) nitrogen. Estimate the molar rates of condensation of isopropanol and water at that point. The following data apply:
