A production facility heats various equipment using a network ofheated air and water vapor lines. A boiler produces a 195.0 mol/hrstream consisting of 0.590 mol fraction of water and 0.410 molfraction of air at 131.0°C and 5200.0 mmHg. The air and water vaporcool as the gases move away from the boiler, and steam trapscollect and remove condensed water from the lines while thepressure remains constant.
a) If a total of 65.6 mol/hr of condensed water is removed fromthe air and vapor lines, what is the composition of the air andvapor mixture leaving the steam lines?
b) Use the Antoine equation for water valid between 60°C and150ºC to find the temperature of the air and vapor mixture leavingthe heating lines.
