Redo Problem 13.14 using Aspen Plus.

Problem 13.14

Acetaldehyde is produced from ethanol by the following gas-phase reactions: 

CH5OH + O = CH3CHO + HO 02 C2H5OH=CH3CHO + H2 (a) (b)

The reactions are carried out at 540°C and 1 bar pressure using a silver gauze catalyst and air as an oxidant. If 50% excess air [sufficient air that 50 percent more oxygen is present than is needed for all the ethanol to react by reaction (a)] is used, calculate the equilibrium composition of the reactor effluent.
