Question 2 (20 Marks) (a) The complete combustion of liquid methanol produces carbon dioxide and water gas products according to the following equation: CH3OH + 3/202 CO2 +2H2O Partial combustion or incomplete combustion of methanol is given below: CH3OH + O2 + CO +2H20 Liquid methanol (CH3OH) is burned with excess air in a continuous combustion chamber at a rate of 12.0 L/h. The dry-basis product gas composition is 0.45 mole% CH3OH; 9.03 mole% CO2 and 1.81 mole% CO. i) Draw and completely label the process flowchart. (4 marks) ii) Calculate the fractional conversion of oxygen and the percentage excess air fed to the reactor. (8 marks) iii) Calculate the air feed rate, if 60% excess air is supplied to combustion chamber. (4 marks) Data: 1 lb = 32.174 lbm.ft/s? = 4.4482 N = 4.4482 x 10$ dynes; 1 m = 1000 L = 219.97 imperial gallons; 1 ft = 12 in. = 0.3048 m; g = 9.8066 m/s2 = 980.66 cm/s = 32.174 ft/s; 1 m = 3.2808 ft, Molecular weight and SG of CH3OH is 32.04, 0.792 respectively. = (b) The hydrogenation of acetylene (C2H2) to form ethane (C2H6) proceeds according to the following equation C2H2 +2H2 C2H6 The feed to the reactor contains 15 kmol C2H2 and 40 kmol H2. Molecular weight of CzH2 and CzHe is 26.04 and 30.07 respectively i) Which reactant is limiting? (1 mark) ii) What is the percentage excess of the other reactant? (1 mark) ii) Calculate the mass of C2H6 which will be formed if the reaction proceeds to completion. (2 marks)
