11.41 In an attempt to provide a means of generating NO cheaply, gaseous ammonia is
burned with 02. It is desired that oxygen entering the reactor is 20% in excess of that
theoretically required. The reaction is 70% complete. The nitric oxide is separated from
the unreacted NH3, and the latter is recycled, as shown in Figure 11.26.
