Question

Methane gas at 25°C, 1 atm enters a reactor operating at steady-state and burns with 80% theoretical air entering at 227°C, 1 atm. An equilibrium mixture of CO2, CO, H2O(g), H2, and N2 exits at 1427°C, 1 atm. Assume N2 is inert.
Determine, per kmol of methane entering;
(a) the composition of the exiting mixture.
(b) the heat transfer between the reactor and its surroundings, in kJ.
Neglect kinetic and potential energy effects.

Answer 1

Answer:

The composition of existing misture are,

a.

Co2 =0.5679

Co= 0.9326

H2O=1.6326

H2 = 0.3679

N2 = 0.6016

b.

K= 3.3878
