A liquid mixture containing 18.0 wt% water, 37.0 wt% methanol, 17.0 wt% ethanol, and the balance propanol is fed at 250.0 lbm/min into an evaporator operating at steady state. Two streams exit the evaporator: a vapor stream and a liquid stream, both of which contain all four components. The mass fraction of methanol in the vapor stream is 0.440 , the mass fraction of propanol in the liquid stream is 0.410 , and 60.0 % of the ethanol in the feed stream ends up in the vapor stream. The ratio of the total mass flow rate of the vapor exit stream to the total mass flow rate of the liquid exit stream is 1.26 . Required:
a. Draw and label a flow sheet for the process.
b. Label the total flow rate of each stream with a unique symbol.
c. Label the mole fractions in each stream with unique symbols.

Air is to be cooled in the evaporator section of a refrigerator by passing it over a bank of 0.8-cm-outer-diameter and 0.4-m-long tubes inside which the refrigerant is evaporating at -20°c. air approaches the tube bank in the normal direction at 0°c and 1 atm with a mean velocity of 4 m/s. the tubes are arranged in-line with longitudinal and transverse pitches of sl- st 1.5 cm. there are 30 rows in the flow direction with 15 tubes in each row. determine (a) the refrigeration capacity of this system and (b) pressure drop across the tube bank. evaluate the air properties at an assumed mean temperature of -5°c and 1 atm. is this a good assumption?
