The following reactions take place in the reactor where acetylene is produced from methane.

24 22 + 3 2

22 2 () + 2

Methane enters the reactor at a temperature of 1500C and a flow rate of 10 mol/s. Heat energy of 975 kW is given to the reactor. The products come out at a temperature of 1500C and the conversion of methane is 60%. Calculate the molar flow rate (mol/s) of the products
