Question: Methane feed = 8 6 5 kmo l h r Task 2 : You were asked to evaluate the following process used to produce acetylene

Methane feed =865kmolhr
Task 2:
You were asked to evaluate the following process used to produce
acetylene from methane. The following reactions takes place during the
process:
CH4+O2CO+H2+H2O(1)xo2=1
2CH4C2H2+3H2(2)xCH=0.35
C2H22C+H2(3)xc2H2=0.05
CO+H2OlarrCO2+H2(4)xcOC=0.10
The feed flow of methane is given per group in kgmole/h (100% pure) and
oxygen enough is used to have full conversion of oxygen and enough heat
to trigger the desired pyrolysis of methane to produce acetylene.
Calculate the molar composition of the products leaving the reactor by hand
using material balance.
Calculate the amount of carbon dioxide and hydrogen generated during the
process. Support your calculations by the given data and balanced reaction.
Determine the selectivity of acetylene over the side products.
Calculate the extent of the reaction.
