( 2 5 % ) Methanol can be made by catalytic oxidation of methane using the stoichiometric amount of O 2 as shown in the

(25%) Methanol can be made by catalytic oxidation of methane using the stoichiometric amount of O2 as shown in the reaction below. A conversion of 30% of the methane was obtained in the reactor. Determine the quantity of heat required to be added or removed from the reactor.
Basis of calculation: 1 mole of methane fed.
CH4(g)+O2(g)----CH3OH(g)
(Given: the Constant heat capacity, Cp, of CH4(g),O(g) and CH3OH(g) are 0.08,0.028 and 0.077kJmolC respectively). You can use Cp02 or table 8 for calculation.
Feed temperature: 50C for Methane; 100C for Oxygen
Product temperature: 200C
Standard Heat of reaction is -126.35kJmol
Determine the molar flow rate of the product stream components based on the symbols used in the below inlet-outlet enthalpy table. You are required to use the heat of reaction method for the energy balance. Write the answers in the table below.
