Question 1
The reaction of Ammonia to Nitric Oxide is produced as a minor substance in a fertilizing plant. Nitric Oxide is used in Pharmacology
The Haber Process is used to produce Ammonia which is then used to produce Nitric Oxide, which is represented in the following reactions:
N2(g)+3H2(g)2NH3(g)dotsdotsdotsdotsdotsdots
4NH3(g)+5O2(g)4NO(g)+6H2O(g).
q,
Instead of recycling unreacted substances for this process, the plant decides to send these substances to their main fertilizing reactors.
N2 and H2 are entered in streams 1 and 2 respectively. Reaction 1 takes place in Reactor 1 which is a single pass conversion of 45%. The remaining N2 and H2 are then separated from the formed NH3 in Separator 1 through streams 4 and 5 respectively.
Reaction 2 takes place in Reactor 2 with a single pass conversion of 85%.O2 is added to reactor 2 from stream 7. Separator 2 removes the unreacted H2O(stream 9) and the formed O2(stream 10). Separator 3 removes unreacted NH3(stream 12) and the produced NO(stream 13).O2 in stream 10 is 1.5 times more than NH3 in stream 12. Stream 12 is 20molhr of NH3. Assume 100% separation of the substances in their respective separators.
Using this information find the flow rates and composition of each stream in the below diagram. Do a DOF calculation and show every step for the calculation.
