A mixture of 80 mole% ethane (CH) and 20 mole% hydrogen (H2) flowing at rate of 200 mol/h is burned with 30% excess air. 92% fractional conversions of C2Hand 85% of Hy are achieved with below reactions. 7 CH + O2 2 2 CO2 + 3 H20 (reaction 1) 2 H2 + O2 + 2 H20 (reaction 2) Beside, the below undesired reaction also got carried out in the same reactor resulting to produce Co. Of the CHe that reacts, 85% formed CO2 and the balance reacted to form Co. Process flowchart is given. Solve for the following: 5 200 + 3H20 (undesired reaction) C2H6+ 202 -200 (moth) YC0. 0.2 Por 027 -0.79 ne (mol h) (mol-C Hwh) (mol-Hyh) (mol-00h) Namol-com esmol H.Oh) (mol-Oyh) (mol Nyh) a) Stoichiometric moles of O, required (1 pt) (Intl mol- ch) (mol-H./h) Yox 0.21 mol-co/h) Ramol-C0/h) Y-0.79 ns (mol-H.Oh) 16(mol-09/h) **(mol-Nyh) a) Stoichiometric moles of Oz required b) Determine amount of air fed to the process (nas) c) Prove that C He is the limiting reactant d) Perform the degree-of-freedom analysis, based on molecular balance method, and comment of your results e) Calculate molar flowrates of C;H: (m), H(x2), CO, (n) and CO (na) leaving the reactor.
