Which one is cheaper to do if I have a reactor at 45 bar, 80C and wish to distill a substance before it enters another reactor at 15 bar, 150C?
Boil by increasing temperature or reducing pressure?

SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the cost-effectiveness of boiling a substance by either increasing temperature or reducing pressure in a reactor system transitioning from 45 bar at 80°C to 15 bar at 150°C. It is established that reducing pressure alone does not ensure continuous boiling without the application of heat. A thorough analysis of the specific processes involved is necessary to determine the most efficient method for distillation between reaction steps.
