CHEMICAL ENERGY BALANCE - EXAMPLE 11.2 : Calculate the cooling duty, H required to condense and cool acetone from 100 degree Celsius to 25 degree Celsius at atmospheric pressure. The heat of vaporization for acetone at its normal boiling point is 30.2 kJ / mol. The boiling point of acetone at atmospheric pressure is 56 degree Celsius. The flowrate of acetone through the condenser is 100 mol / s = N. Value of sensible heat needed to increase the temperature of acetone in liquid form from 25 to 56 degree Celsius is 4.06 kJ / mol. Value of sensible heat needed to increase the temperature of acetone in vapor form from 56 to 100 degree Celsius is 3.82 kJ / mol. Unit of H is kJ / s.

CHEMICAL ENERGY BALANCE - ANSWER 11.2 : In the same state, total heat changes in heating = total heat changes in cooling for acetone. H = N ( total heat of sensible + heat of vaporization) = 100 (mol / s) [ (30.2) + (4.06 + 3.82) ] (kJ / mol) = 3808 kJ / s.
