PHYS PROPS, ENERGY BALANCE [15 MARKS]
Toluene is used as a solvent in many processes. A feed stream at 130kPa (abs),140C contains 70mol% toluene in nitrogen. In order to recover toluene as a liquid, the stream is cooled isobarically to 25C.
a) What phase is the feed stream (Gas, Liquid, or mix of both)? Justify your answer with calculation or sound logic and data.
[3 MARKS]
b) Sketch the process showing key streams and energy flow(s).[2 MARKS]
c) Stating key assumptions and by showing appropriate steps, calculate the composition of the vapour and liquid streams.

d) How much energy (in kJ) must be removed per mol of feed stream?
