QUESTION ONE

Dehydrogenation ofe to form acetaldehyde is carried out in an adiabatic reactor. 100 moles per hour of ethanol at 400C is fed to a continuous reactor. The reactor conversion is 50%. The gas average heat capacities of ethanol, acetaldehyde and hydrogen are 78, 96 and 29 (J/mol), respectively. Calculate the reactor exit stream temperature.  

The following reaction takes place in gas phase

C2H5OH-------> CH3CHO + H

Ethalpy of reaction is 69.11kj/mol
