Propane is oxidized in a continuous reactor according to the following reaction: C3H8(g)+502(g) 3002(g)+4H20() 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. Fill out the following sections in a clean and orderly manner: 1. Flowchart (completely labeled): 2. Mass balances for each component (according to the flowchart): 3. Calculations from the mass balance to find the molar flow of each component in all currents: 4. Energy balance (from the balance sheet, delete the corresponding terms according to the information of the problem, briefly indicate the reason why you despise each term and justify the assumptions): 5. Table of enthalpies (including the reference status for each species) 6. Calculation of enthalpies (complete development, indicating the hypothetical route, tables used and units)
