Tutorial questions:
1. Please verify that mass and energy of water and ammonia are conserved
2. Please answer the following questions:
What are the molar compositions at the dew point of the mixture at 250 psia? What is the dew
point temperature?
What are the molar compositions of the liquid and vapor phases at the condenser outlet?
What are the molar compositions of the liquid and vapor phases at the expansion valve outlet?
What are the molar compositions of the liquid and vapor phases at the separator outlet?
3. Based on your answers in #2, please outline how the above process separates water from
ammonia and elaborate on chemical engineering principles involved
