Name: Acrylic acid is produced by the catalytic partial oxidation of propylene in the presence of steam at elevated temperature and ambient pressure. In the simplified process, propylene, air (a source of oxygen), and steam are mixed and fed to the reactor. The reactions occurring within the reactor are as follows C,H, +1.50, C,H,O, + H,0 propylene acrylic acid (1) C,H, + 4.50, → 3C0, + 3H,0 propylene (2) Eq. (1) is the desired acrylic acid production reaction, and Eq. (2) is the undesired propylene combustion reaction The feed to the reactor is 100 kmolh and contains Smol% propylene, S5mol% air, and the balance steam. The reactor temperature and pressure are 200°C and 4.3 atm, respectively. At these conditions, the fractional conversion of propylene is 0.04, and the selectivity (moles acrylic moles CO.) is 10.0 Using the extent of reaction method, solve for the flow rate of each component leaving the reactor. In addition to completing the table below, write out your work on a separate piece of paper Component , kmolh into reactor ni, kmol/h out of reactor Name: Acrylic acid is produced by the catalytic partial oxidation of propylene in the presence of steam at elevated temperature and ambient pressure.
