The ethanol dehydrogenation reaction (C2H5OH(v) → CH3CHO(v) + H2(g)) is carried out with the feed entering at 300oC. The feed contains 90.0 mole% ethanol and the balance acetaldehyde and enters the reactor at a rate of 150 mol/s. Heat is transferred to the reactor at 2400kW. Thus, the outlet temperature is 253oC. calculate the composition of product stream

Question
The ethanol dehydrogenation reaction (C2H5OH(v) → CH3CHO(v) + H2(g)) is carried out with the feed entering at 300oC. The feed contains 90.0 mole% ethanol and the balance acetaldehyde and enters the reactor at a rate of 150 mol/s. Heat is transferred to the reactor at 2400kW. Thus, the outlet temperature is 253oC. calculate the composition of product stream

Transcribed Image Text:5. Ethanol dehydrogenation reaction is carried out with the feed entering at 300°C. The feed contains 90
mol% ethanol and the balance acetaldehyde and enters the reactor at a rate of 150 mol/s. Heat is
transferred to the reactor at 2400 kW. Thus, the outlet temperature is 253°C. The chemical equation and
flowchart of the process is given below:
C,H5OH → CH3CHO + H2
