Condenser Load Calculation for TC Process

The document details the condenser load calculation for a TC process using methanol as a solvent, with a total solvent mass of 3441 Kg and a distillation rate of 172 Kg/hr over 20 hours. It includes calculations for heat load on the condenser, secondary utility cooling requirements, and relevant temperatures and heat transfer coefficients. The results indicate that the condenser is adequate for the heat load of 116769 Kcal/hr and the cooling system can effectively manage the reactor's heat load of 9600 Kcal.
