Acetylene is produced from methane in the following reaction 2CH. (g) →C₂H₂(g) + 3H₂(g) An undesired side reaction is the decomposition of acetylene C₂H₂ (g) → 2C₂(c) + H₂(g) Methane at 1000° C is fed to the reactor at a rate of 10 mol/s. The reactor operates isothermally at 1000° C. a. The fractional conversion of methane is 0.60 and the molar ratio of acetylene produced to methane consumed is 0.417. Calculate the rate of heat transfer (in kW) from/to the reactor. (Q=+1100 kW)

Question
Transcribed Image Text:Acetylene is produced from methane in the following reaction
2CH. (g) → C₂H₂(g) + 3H₂(g)
An undesired side reaction is the decomposition of acetylene
C₂H₂ (g) →2C₂(c) + H₂(g)
Methane at 1000° C is fed to the reactor at a rate of 10 mol/s. The reactor operates
isothermally at 1000° C.
a. The fractional conversion of methane is 0.60 and the molar ratio of acetylene
produced to methane consumed is 0.417. Calculate the rate of heat transfer (in
kW) from/to the reactor. (Q= + 1100 kW)
b. Calculate the rate of heat transfer (in kW) from/to the reactor if no side reaction
occurs and the reaction goes to completion.
