Chapter 4, Problem 4.67P
Methane and oxygen react in the presence of a catalyst to form formaldehyde. In a parallel reaction, methane is oxidized to carbon dioxide and water:
CH4 + Cb -> HCHO + H2O
CH4 + 202 -* CO2 + 2H2O
The teed to the reactor contains equimolar amounts of methane and oxygen. Assume a basis of 1 (X) mol feed/s.
- Draw and label a flowchart. Use a degree-of-freedom analysis based on extents of reaction to determine how many process variable values must be specified for the remaining variable values to be calculated.
- Use Equation 4.6-7 to derive expressions for the product stream component flow rates in terms of the two extents of reaction. £1 and ^2.
- The fractional conversion of methane is 0.900 and the fractional yield of formaldehyde is 0.855. Calculate the molar composition of the reactor output stream and the selectivity of formaldehyde production relative to carbon dioxide production.
- A classmate of yours makes the following observation: “Ifyou add the stoichiometric equations far the two reactions, you get the balanced equation 2CH 4 + 3O 2 - HCHO + CO 2 + 3H 2O
The reactor output must therefore contain one mole of CO2 for every mole of HCHO, so the selectivity' of formaldehyde to carbon dioxide must be 1.0. Doing it the way the book said to do it, I got a different selectivity. Which way is right, and why is the other way wrong?" What is your response?

It is intended to produce Propylene Glycol, PG (CH2(OH)CH(OH)CH3) by the hydrolysis of
Propylene Oxide, PO (CH20CHCH3) in CSTR. The acid-catalyzed liquid-phase exothermic
reaction is shown below:
CH20CHCH, + H20 - CH2(OH)CH(OH)CH,
The feed, containing 3 mol/L of Propylene Oxide and 30 mol/L of water, enters the well-mixed
adiabatic reactor at 303 K at a total volumetric flowrate of 10 L/min. Propylene Oxide is a
volatile substance, and you cannot exceed an operating temperature of 80°C. Assume that
you operate the system at this maximum temperature.
Additional Information:
AHxn(298K) = -18,000 cal/mol

Gas law constant = 1.987 cal/K.mol.
E = 15,000 cal/mol

The reaction is dependent in Propylene Oxide concentration and independent of water
concentration. It can be treated as a first order and also second order reaction. Analyse and

2. In an ethanol production plant, a separator produces a 99% ethanol product from a feedstock
stream containing 85% water and 15% ethanol at a rate of 450 Ib/min. The separator has two
outlet streams: the ethanol product outlet stream (99% ethanol) and a residual water stream.
30% of the feedstock is bypassed and mixed with the residual water stream leaving the separator.
If 60% of the ethanol entering the separator is recovered in the product stream, determine the
composition of the residual water stream just after leaving the separator and the composition of the
residual stream after mixing with the bypass stream.
In a chemical production plant, cyclohexane is made by the reaction of benzene and hydrogen. Reaction is as follows:
CHs + H2 → CoH12
The complete process of producing cyclohexane uses a reactor and a separator. Using the process shown below
and assuming 20 % excess hydrogen in the fresh feed, find the ratio of the recycle stream to the fresh feed
stream, the composition of the final product stream, and the composition of the stream leaving the reactor. The
overall conversion of benzene is 92% and the single-pass conversion is 21.5 %. The recycle stream is composed
of 23.9 % benzene and the remaining hydrogen.
