About this document

Latent Heat of Ethanol: 200.6 kcal/kg by Bhaskar Bethi is a document available to read on EtoBox.

1) The document describes the material and energy balances for producing acetaldehyde from ethanol through catalytic dehydrogenation. 2) Key process steps include vaporizing ethanol, conducting the reaction at 280-350°C to produce acetaldehyde and hydrogen, and recovering heat from the product stream to preheat the ethanol feed. 3) Mass and energy balances were performed for the vaporizer, reactor, and heat exchanger to determine flow rates of reactants and products and energy transfers between streams.
