    The document provides a step-by-step solution walkthrough for a process involving propane and steam. It outlines the key steps to calculate enthalpy changes in a preheater, heat exchanger, and reactor using propane and steam properties. The preheater calculations involve changing the state of propane from gas to liquid via temperature and pressure changes. The heat exchanger calculations use steam tables to determine enthalpy changes for steam and determine the heat transfer. The reactor calculations determine enthalpy changes for heating propane gas and mixing with air.

    Solution walk through:

    Reference states: C3H8 (Gas, 21 degrees, 1 atm); H2O (Liquid, 0.01 degrees, 0.00611 bar)
    Assumptions:
    Propane gas behaves like an ideal gas, thus its change in enthalpy associated with pressure
    change is zero.

    Propane gas is isobaric throughout the process


    At the reactor the system is adiabatic

    Pre-heater:
    𝑚
    ˙ = 500 kg C3H8/h
    To calculate specific change in enthalpy in the preheater.

    1. Take C3H8 (Gas, 21 degrees, 1 atm) to C3H8 (Liquid, 21 degrees, 8.39 atm [850 kPa])
    {Ha}

    But the process path should be as follows:

    C3H8 (Gas, 21 degrees, 1 atm) to C3H8 (Gas, -42.07 degrees, 1 atm). Temperature
    change

    C3H8(Gas, -42.07 degrees, 1 atm) to C3H8 (Liquid, -42.07 degrees, 1 atm). After the
    temperature change, propane will condense since its temperature is low. Phase
    change

    C3H8 (Liquid, -42.07 degrees, 1 atm) to C3H8 (Liquid, 21 degrees, 1 atm). Temperature
    change. Heat capacity of liquid propane?

    C3H8 (Liquid, -42.07 degrees, 1 atm) to C3H8 (Liquid, -42.07 degrees, 8.39 [850 kPa]).
    Pressure change

    2. Take C3H8 (Gas, 21 degrees, 1 atm) to C3H8 (Gas, -42.07 degrees, 83.89 atm [8500
    kPa]) {Hb}

    But the process path should be as follows:

    C3H8 (Gas, 21 degrees, 1 atm) to C3H8 (Gas, -42.07 degrees, 1 atm). Temperature
    change.
    C3H8 (Gas, -42.07 degrees, 1 atm) to C3H8 (Gas, -42.07 degrees, 83.89 atm [8500 kPa]).
    Pressure change

    Heat exchanger:
    Steam calculations:

    𝑚
    ˙ = 250 kg/h; H2O (Gas, 550 degrees, 20 bar) (inlet)
    𝑚
    ˙ = 250 kg/h; H2O (Saturated Liquid, 20 bar) (outlet)
    To calculate specific change in enthalpy in the heat exchanger.

    1. Take H2O (Liquid, 0.01 degrees, 0.00611 bar) to H2O (Gas, 550 degrees, 20 bar). The
    steam tables are used.{Hc}E

    2. Take H2O (Liquid, 0.01 degrees, 0.00611 bar) to H2O (Saturated Liquid, 20 bar). The
    steam tables are used.{Hd}

    ˙ that will be transferred to the heat exchanger.


    From this we can further calculate the heat 𝑄

    Propane calculations:

    𝑚
    ˙ = 500 kg/h; C3H8 (Gas, -42.07 degrees, 83.89 atm [8500 kPa]) (inlet)
    𝑚˙ = 500 kg/h; C3H8 (Gas, 300 degrees, Pressure??) (outlet)

    To calculate change in enthalpy in the heat exchanger.

    1. Propane at these conditions (Gas, -42.07 degrees, 83.89 atm [8500 kPa]) (inlet)
    its specific change in enthalpy from the reference state is a ready known. {Hb}

    2. Take C3H8 (Gas, 21 degrees, 1 atm) to C3H8 (Gas, 300 degrees, Pressure??).
