A stream of pure cyclopentane vapor flowing at a rate of 1550 L/s at 150 ºC and 1 atm of pressure enters a cooler, which is operating at 1 atm.  The cooler functions as a flash separator (one liquid outlet stream, one vapor outlet stream) with 75% of the feed being condensed and exiting the cooler at 1 atm.  The liquid stream exiting the cooler is in equilibrium with the exiting vapor.  Use a molar flow and enthalpy summary table to help organize your work.

  1. What is the temperature (ºC) of the streams exiting the cooler?  Clearly explain your reasoning.
  2. Calculate the required cooling rate in units of kW
