Please write the codes for each option both in Matlab and Polymath. It is desired to produce methane from captured carbon dioxide in a single packed bed
reactor (diameter of 0.0254m and 2m length) operated isothermally at 314C with
an inlet pressure of 30atm by the following gas phase reaction. Molar feed rate of
carbon dioxide is 50kmolh. The reactants are fed to the reactor in stoichiometric
ratio.
CO2(g)?(A)+4H2(g)?(B)harrCH4(g)?(C)+2H2O(g)?(D)
(C)
(D)
Reaction rate law in terms of the partial pressures of the reactants is expressed as :
-rA=k*PA*PB4(1+K1*PB+K2*PA)5
a) Derive the mole balance equations for all species.
b) Calculate molar flow rates of reactants and conversion in the absence of
pressure drop for the 5m of reactor length.
DATA:
=0.45
catalyst=,2000kgm3
Your report must include the derivation of model equations, screenshots of solutions
performed by Polymath and MATLAB.
