solve the problem using aspen plus and show ( screenshots ) each steps of your aspen code: P 1 1 - 6 The irreversible endothermic

solve the problem using aspen plus and show (screenshots) each steps of your aspen code:
P11-6 The irreversible endothermic vapor-phase reaction follows an elementary rate law ?B
CH3COCH3CH2CO+CH4
AB+C
and is carried out adiabatically in a 500-dm3PFR. Species A is fed to the reactor at a rate of 10molmin
and a pressure of 2atm. An inert stream is also fed to the reactor at 2atm, as shown in Figure P11-CB.
The entrance temperature of both streams is 1100K.
F
Additional information:
k=exp(34.34-34,222T)dm3mol*min,CPI=200Jmol*K
(Tin degrees Kelvin ),
CPA=170Jmol*K,CPB=90Jmol*K
CPC=80Jmol*K,HRx=80,000Jmol
(a) First derive an expression for CA01 as a function of CA0 and I.
(b) Sketch the conversion and temperature profiles for the case when no inerts are present. Using a
dashed line, sketch the profiles when a moderate amount of inerts are added. Using a dotted line,
sketch the profiles when a large amount of inerts are added. Qualitative sketches are fine. Describe
the similarities and differences between the curves.
(c) Sketch or plot and then analyze the exit conversion as a function of I. Is there a ratio of the
entering molar flow rates of inerts (I) to A (i.e.,I=FI0FA0) at which the conversion is at a
maximum? Explain why there "is" or "is not" a maximum.
(d) What would change in parts (b) and (c) if reactions were exothermic and reversible with
HRx=-80kJmol and KC=2dm3mol at 1100K?
(e) Sketch or plot FB for parts (c) and (d), and describe what you find.
(f) Plot the heat that must be removed along the reactor (Q vs.V) to maintain isothermal operation
for pure A fed and an exothermic reaction. Part (f) is "C" level of difficulty, i.e., P11-6CC(f).
