[3 marks]Hydrogen and carbon monoxide are produced by a reacion between steam (water
vapor) and propane (C3H8). Carbon monoxide also reacts with the steam, leading to the
formation of additional hydrogen and CO2.100molmin of propane at 125C is
combined with 50% excess steam at 200C to form a fresh feed. The feed is joined by a
recycle and the combined streams are fed to the reactor. The products, which are at
300C, are sent to a separator where 80% of the steam and propane are recycled back
to join the fresh feed, and the rest of the products exit. If the overall conversion of
propane is 85% and the selectivity of CO to CO2 is 5 :
