Problem $2$

A reactor is designed to take in a feed of $200$ mol$/$min of methane and $50\%$ excess steam, and convert them to CO and H$2$ with a $65\%$ conversion rate.

Determine the mole flow rates methane, hydrogen and CO in the reactor product stream. Calculate the Energy Efficiency based on LHV

$($For your verification $-$ Answer: methane flow rate at the outlet is $70$ mol$/$min$)$

CH$4+$ H$2$O $$ CO$+3$H$2$

$(\backslash$Delta HSR $=206$ kJ$/$mol$).$
