(a)
Interpretation:
Flow chart for the process should be prepared. Also, the degree of freedom for the process should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Flow chart for the process is determined on the values of input and output that is the amount of feed entered in the reactor and product formed also helps to predict the amount accumulated during formation of product.
This gives the relation,which is defined as,
Input-output = Accumulation.
The flow sheet for the process is shown below,
For a single reaction system, the final moles of each of the components present, can be estimated by the equation:
Here,
Mole fraction
Here,
(b)
Interpretation:
The set of equation identifying the process for the given data should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Mole fraction
Here,
Volumetric flow rate is defined as the product of area for the flow and cross sectional velocity having unit of cubic feet/second.
(c)
Interpretation:
The values of all equations calculated in part (b) should be calculated.
Concept introduction:
Mole fraction
Here,
Volumetric flow rate is defined as the product of area for the flow and cross sectional velocity having unit of cubic feet/second.
(d)
Interpretation:
The value of total heat requirements in kW for methane and oxygen preheater should be determined. Also, the value of temperature attained in convertor should be calculated.
Concept introduction:
The amount of heat transferred is
The enthalpies of reactants and products depends on the heat capacity and temperature.
(f)
Interpretation:
The additional steps can be included in the absorber and stripper off gas should be explained.
