Another production of the synthesis gas is the production of methane by catalytic reforming at high temperature and pressure

CH, (g)+ HO(g)

CO(g) + 3H2(g)

The only other reaction to consider is the water-gas reaction.

CO(g) + H(g)

If the reactants are given to 2 moles of steam at the rate of 1 mole of methane and 1

heat is given to the reactor so that the products reach a temperature of 1300 Kthe methane is completely converted and the product stream contains 17.4% moles of COCalculate the heat required for the reactor, assuming the reactants are preheated to 600 K
