Redo Problem 13.5 using Aspen Plus.

Problem 13.5

The production of NO by the direct oxidation of nitrogen,

occurs naturally in internal combustion engines. This reaction is also used to commercially produce nitric oxide in electric arcs in the Berkeland-Eyde process. If air is used as the feed, compute the equilibrium conversion of oxygen at 1 atm (1.013 bar) total pressure over the temperature range of 1500 to 3000°C. Air contains 21 mol % oxygen and 79 mol % nitrogen.
