Question
**Transcription for Educational Use:**

Saturated steam at a gauge pressure of 0.50 bar is used to heat a stream of ethane. The ethane enters a heat exchanger at 16°C and 1.5 bar gauge pressure at a rate of 795 m³/min and is heated at constant pressure to 93°C. The steam condenses and leaves the exchanger as a liquid at 20°C. The specific enthalpy of ethane at the given pressure is 941 kJ/kg at 16°C and 1073 kJ/kg at 93°C.

a) How much power must be transferred to the ethane to heat it from 16°C to 93°C?

b) At what rate must steam be supplied to the heat exchanger if all the energy transferred from the steam goes to heat the ethane?

**Additional Explanation:**

This problem involves a heat exchanger where ethane is heated using steam. We have a flow rate of the entane, temperatures before and after heating, and specific enthalpy values which are key for calculations. The task is to calculate the power needed for this heating process and the amount of steam required.
