A gas stream composed of air and benzene enters a partial condenser (in which the vapor is only partially liquefied) at 100 °C and 1 atm. The temperatures of the liquid and gas outlet streams are computed in this Demonstration. In addition, the molar flow rates of benzene in the liquid and vapor streams exiting the partial condenser are determined. For this purpose, we make use of the energy balance equation for non-reactive systems: . You can set the values of the heat removed by the partial condenser,
