Question 2[20]
Suppose you are given two parallel combustion reactions occurring in a fiow reactor: C3H3+5O23CO2+4H2O(1) desired reaction
C3H8+72O23CO+4H2O
(2) wndesired reaction
The reactor is fed with 250kmolhr3C4 and 1500kmohrO2. The ext stream contains 45kmolhrC3H4,165kmolhrCO2,450kmolhrCO2,H2O and O2. Determine the following:
2.1. Fractional conversion of C2H4
(3 marks)
2.2.% Excess O2
(4 marks)
2.3.% Yield
(4 marks)
2.4. Selectivity
(4 marks)
2.5. Flowrates of H2O and O2 from the reactor (ext stream).
(5 marks)
