Methanol is produced from CO and H in a continuous vapor-phase reactor at 5 atm.

CO (g) + 2 H (g) CH OH (g)

The feed contains CO and H in stoichiometric proportions by mole and enters the reactor at 30 C and 5.00 atm at a rate of 20 m3 /h. The product stream emerges from the reactor at 130 C. Heat is removed from the reactor at a rate of 15 kW. Calculate the fractional conversion achieved in the reactor and the volume rate of the product stream in m /h.
