Redo Problem 14.3 using Aspen Plus.

Problem 14.3

One mole of ethylene and one mole of benzene are fed to a constant-volume batch reactor and heated to 600 K. On the addition of a catalyst, an equilibrium mixture of ethylbenzene, benzene, and ethylene is formed: 

C6H6(g) + CH4 (g)  C6H5CH5 (g)

The pressure in the reactor, before addition of the catalyst (i.e., before any reaction has occurred), is 1.013 bar. Calculate the equilibrium conversion and the heat that must be removed to maintain the reactor temperature constant at 600 K.

C6H6(g) + CH4 (g) C6H5CH5(g)
