b. Acetylene (CH2) may be formed from methane (CHA) by pyrolyzing-decomposing at high temperature according to the reaction: 2CH. (g) - CH2 (9) + 3H2 (9) In a commercial reactor system, the methane is supplied as a liquid at 25C to a heater where it is heated and vapourised leaving as a vapour at 650C. The vapour then passes to the catalytic reactor in which a conversion of 40% is achieved. it may be assumed that there are no other reactions, that operation is at a pressure of one atmosphere and that the stream leaving the reactor is all in the vapour state. With a complete block diagram of the process, determine the heat transfer rate (kW) required to the reactor if it is operated isothermally. Evaluate on the value of the heat transfer rate obtained from your calculation Given data: Component Methane Standard heat of formation and heat capacity State AA (kJ/mol Co (kJ/molk) liquid gas -74.85 0.34 liquid gas 226.75 0.42 gas 0.059 Acetylene Hydrogen The Cp values may be assumed independent of temperature (14 marks)
