It is desired to produce 500 kg/day of ethylene by catalytic cracking of an ethane feed stream
pure (C2H6). The reaction is irreversible and follows an elementary rate law
C2H6(g)--> C2H4(g)+ H2(g)
The flow reactor operates isothermally at 1100 K and a pressure of 6 atm, in such a way that
70% conversions. Determine the initial volumetric flow of ethane (in L/s) necessary for the production of
500 kg/day of ethylene. MC2H4=28 g/mol.
