Question

pls read the question carefully, i posted the same question more than one time but with different requirement. the subject name is Process plant design and safety, it's chemical engineering subject

Fig. 1 shows isothermal dehydrogenation which was pioneered by BASF and has been
used by them for many years. The reactor is built like a shell-and-tube heat exchanger.
Ethylbenzene and steam flow through the tubes, which are packed with catalyst. The heat
of reaction is supplied by hot flue gas on the shell side of the reactor -exchanger.
