Ethane (C2H6) gas at mass flow rate of 1.5 kg/min is mixed with air (O2 + 3.76N2) at mass flow rate of 1 kg/sec in a steady-state, steady-flow isobaric combustion process. All reactants enter the process at 298 K and 100 kPa, and the fuel burns to complete combustion.
a) Determine the Air-Fuel Ratio (AFR)
b) Write a balanced reaction equation based on one mole of fuel
c) Determine the excess air fraction (%)
d) Assuming that the combustion products exit the system at 1000 K, determine the volumetric flow rate of the combustion exhaust (m3 /s)
e) Assuming that the combustion products exit the system at 1000 K, determine the rate of heat transfer to/from the system (kW)
Repeat steps d and e, but assuming that the combustion product exit the system at 2000 k. Using the values in part e for 1000 k and 2000 k, apply linear interpolation to estimate the adiabatic exit temperature (?̇ = 0) for the combustion products. Next, using conservation of energy analysis, solve for the adiabatic exit temperature (+/- 5 K).

- Direct dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene to styrene is carried out in the vapor phase with steam over a catalyst consisting primarily of iron oxide. The reaction is endothermic, and can be accomplished either adiabatically or isothermally. Both methods are used in practice. The major reaction is the reversible, endothermic conversion of ethylbenzene to styrene and hydrogen: C6H3CH₂CH CoHsCHCH₂ + H₂ AH= 124.9 kJ/mol Competing thermal reactions degrade ethylbenzene to benzene C6H3CH₂CH3C6H6+ C₂H4 AH 101.8 kJ/mol Styrene also reacts catalytically to toluene: CH3CH₂CH3 + H2 CH3CH3 + CH4 AH=64.5 kJ/mol The reactions take place at 620°C. The costs are as shown in Table 1. The production rate of styrene is 200 mol/h.

At time t = 0, the two vessels are via a pipe connected to each other at 120 °C and 1 atm. This pipe has a length of 10 cm and a diameter of 1 cm. No reaction occurs during the mixing of the gases. All performing gas phases are assumed to be ideal. For the calculation of the molecular diffusivity, the Fuller's equation used. How long does it take for the partial pressure of n-butanol in the air vessel to reach 0.01 atm (in h)? Hints for the second part: - at any time point (so also at t= 0) forms the formula derived in the course for equimolar counter-diffusion under steady state conditions is a good approximation for the occurring flux. - at any time holds that c(butanol, vessel 1) = 31 mol/m3 - c(butanol, vessel 2) with the two concentrations in mol/m3 answer: t = 2.45 harrow_forwardPlease only solve part Darrow_forward

C,H,CH; + H, C,H, + CH4 A stream of toluene is mixed with a recycle stream and enters a reactor along with a stream of pure hydrogen. The reaction products at 550 °C enter a condenser, where they are cooled to 41.0 °C. A vapor stream containing Y5CH, = 0.600 mol CH,/mol leaves the process, and a liquid stream containing x66 = 0.810 mol benzene/mol and x6 = 0.190 mol toluene/mol enters a distillation column. The distillate of the column leaves the process at n7 = 668.0 mol/h and contains y7h = 0.9000 mol benzene/mol and y7 = 0.1000 mol toluene/mol. The bottoms of the column contains X8b = 0.250 mol benzene/mol and xgt = 0.750 mol toluene/mol and is recycled back to the fresh feed. Hydrogen is fed into the process at ni = 1183 mol H,/h. This process is carried out at 760 mmHg.
