Question: Propane is oxidized in a continuous reactor according to the following reaction: C3H8(g)+502(g) 3CO2(g)+4H20 (1) The reactor is fed 100 mol/s of propane at 25

 Propane is oxidized in a continuous reactor according to the following
reaction: C3H8(g)+502(g) 3CO2(g)+4H20 (1) The reactor is fed 100 mol/s of propane

Propane is oxidized in a continuous reactor according to the following reaction: C3H8(g)+502(g) 3CO2(g)+4H20 (1) The reactor is fed 100 mol/s of propane at 25 C and an air current at 200 C that ensures an excess oxygen of 20%. It is desired to determine the heat that must be removed from the reactor to achieve an output temperature of 900 C considering a 100% conversion of the limiting reagent. Note that in the reaction the water is produced in liquid form but when it leaves the reactor its shape is vapor. 1. Flowchart (completely labeled)
