In order to obtain the necessary amount of Hydrogen in the HyL Process and to be able to reduce the iron oxide ores to iron, the necessary Hydrogen is obtained from a catalytic reaction of Methane with water by the reaction: CH4 + 2H2O => CO2 + 4H2. Where products and reactants are gaseous. The conditions of the above reaction are inputs at 125ºC and outputs at 35ºC, consider a base calculation of 20,000 gmol/hrs of Hydrogen to be obtained. Make the Matter and Energy Balance considering 85% conversion and 25% Excess water.  What would be the would be the outlet temperature if 200,000 Kcal/hrs are given and the incoming flows are at 25ºC, with the same conversion and excess conditions?
