QUESTION 3
Hydrogen cyanide may be produced from methane, ammonia and oxygen by the Andrussov
process:
NH3(g) + CH4 (g) + 1.50₂ (g) → HCN (g) + 3H₂O (g)
Consider the following process in which 1.20 kmol/min of a gas mixture containing 26.0 mol%
NH3, 31.0 mol % CH4, and 43.0 mol % O₂ is fed to a reactor. The feed stream is at 100.0°C. In
the reactor NH3, CH4, and O₂ are consumed to produce HCN and H₂O according to the above
equation.
a)
If 1913 kW of heat is removed from the reactor and the exit gas temperature is 170.0°C,
calculate the composition of the exit gas and the conversion of NH3.
Given data: Standard heat of formation and specific heat capacities.
b.
Given data:
Acetylene (C₂H₂) may be formed from methane (CH4) by pyrolyzing-decomposing at
high temperature according to the reaction:
2CH4 (g) → C₂H₂ (g) + 3H₂(g)
In a commercial reactor system, the methane is supplied as a liquid at 25°C to a heater
where it is heated and vapourised leaving as a vapour at 650°C. The vapour then
passes to the catalytic reactor in which a conversion of 40% is achieved. It may be
assumed that there are no other reactions, that operation is at a pressure of one
atmosphere and that the stream leaving the reactor is all in the vapour state. With a
complete block diagram of the process, determine the heat transfer rate (Kw) required
to the reactor if it is operated isothermally. Evaluate on the value of the heat transfer rate
obtained from your calculation.
