For the ethanol dehydrogenation reaction: C2H5OH(v) → CH3CHO(v) + H2 (g) Assume that the reactants are entered into the reaction vessel at 300°C with a flow rate of 150 . mol/s, the input stream contains 90% mol of ethanol along with 10% acetaldehyde. To avoid the phenomenon that the temperature drops too much, leading to a sharp decrease in the reaction rate, the heat is supply to the reaction vessel. When the heat input is 2440 kW, the input temperature output is 253oC. Find the conversion of ethanol in this case
