For a general gasification reactor considering the main generic gasification equations, how would you calculate the rate constant (K) . Compositions of MSW is known.

The temperature at which the reactions occur in the gasifier is 1173K, at atmospheric pressure.

The composition of MSW is given below. Please can you calculate the rate constant K.

\begin{tabular}{c|c|c} C+CO2=2CO & Boudouard & 1 \\ \hline C+2H2=CH4 & Methanation & 2 \\ \hline C+H2O=CO+H2 & Water gas & 3 \\ \hline CH4+H2O=CO+3H2 & Steam Methane reforming & 4 \\ \hline CO+H2O=CO2+H2 & Water gas shift & 5 \\ \hline CH4+0.5O2=CO+2H2 & Methane oxidation & 6 \end{tabular} \begin{tabular}{l|r} \hline Moisture Content & 48.12% \\ \hline Ash Content & 43.57% \\ \hline Volatile Content & 49.06% \\ \hline Fixed Carbon Content & 7.38% \\ \hline Carbon & 31.82% \\ \hline Hydrogen & 4.38% \\ \hline Oxygen & 18.45% \\ \hline Nitrogen & 1.22% \\ \hline Sulphur & 0.56% \end{tabular}
