Question:

The process objective can be described most simply as converting methane and water into methanol and hydrogen, and then purifying the methanol so that it meets specifications. The overall process stoichiometry is given by the following relationship:

CH4 + H2O — 2 CH-ОН + H


From this statement, estimate the feed rates of the natural gas (kmol/h, SCMH) and steam (kmol/h,kg/h) fed as reactants (as opposed to fuel) to the reformer.
