A feed stream containing 2.00 mol/min of butane (C4H10) and a feed stream containing 130.0 mol/min of air are fed into a
reactor. The butane reacts completely according to the given reaction.
2C_Ho+130, — 8CO, + 10H,O
Assume that the air is 21.0 mol % O₂ and 79.0 mol % N₂.
2.00 mol C₂H₁0/min
130.0 mol air/min
C in:
Reactor
Set up the equations needed to perform a molar balance for each atomic species present. On the left side of each equation, enter
the molar flow rate of the given atomic species into the reactor. On the right side of each equation, write an expression for the
molar flow rate of each atomic species out of the reactor in terms of q1, 92, 93, and 94.
