Question:
Investigate the effect of a variation of hydrogen feed rate (all other parameters held constant at base-case values).
Problems 23. 12-23.16 investigate the performance of the reactor section for a noncatalytic process for the hydrodealkylation of toluene to produce benzene. Reactor R-101 in Figure 23. 4
(b) operated at the flow conditions shown represents a base case (inlet pressure is \(25 \mathrm{bar}\) ). Kinetics are given in Table 23. 1. Ignore reactor pressure drop. Reactor volume for the base case is \(4.76 \mathrm{~m}^{3}\).
a. Plot toluene conversion versus percent excess oxygen.
b. Determine the maximum conversion possible.
