= 2.7101 × 107 kJ/hr – 1.4443 × 107 kJ/hr

= 1.2671 × 107 kJ/hr

From HYSYS, the energy obtained is 11817378.83 kJ/hr, however from the calculation the
energy obtained is 1.2671 × 107 kJ/hr where the error is 6.66 %. The error calculated is quite
big may be because there is hypothetical component used in the HYSYS.
