Question
The ethanol dehydrogenation reaction
C2H5OH(v) --> CH3CHO(v) + H2(g)
is carried out with the feed entering at 300 degrees celsius, the feed contains 90 mole% ethanol (C2H5OH) and 10% acetaldehyde (CH3CHO) with a flow rate of 200 mol/s. If the conversion of ethanol is 50% and the outlet temperature is 250 degrees celsius, how much heat is added to or removed from the reactor?
a) Draw a flowchart of this reactor and label the streams.

- The production reaction for methyl acetate from methanol is a gas-phase reaction that takes place in a batch reactor to equilibrium conditions. The reaction is as follow: СН3OH (a) + СНзСООН (b) <-> CH3COOCH3 (c) + H2O (d) When the reaction reaches equilibrium at the operating pressure and temperature, the mole fractions (y) of the components satisfy the following relation (the equilibrium constant): YcYd/YaYb = 4.79 Draw a process flow diagram and identify the variables. If the feed to the reactor is stoichiometric (contains equimolar quantities of reactants) and no other components, calculate the equilibrium fractional conversion to 4 s.f. Now consider producing 79 mole of methyl acetate using 88 mol of acetic acid. If the reaction proceeds to equilibrium, how much methanol must be fed to get the required conversion?

- Problem #3 (35%) Vinyl chloride is synthesized through the following reaction of acetylene and hydrochloric acid: C2 H2+ HCl → CH2CHC The following undesired reaction also occurs simultaneously, producing dichlorethane instead: C2 H2 + 2HCI C2 H4CL2 - These reactions occur in a reactor during the manufacture of vinyl chloride. In this process, the feed to the reactor contains 100 Kmol/h of acetylene. The same feed also contains HCI, 16% in excess of that needed if the desired reaction went to completion, as well as 1.2 Kmol/h of an inert contaminant (water vapor). The single-pass fractional conversion of acetylene in the reactor is 12%, and 94% of the C2H2 so reacted is consumed in the first reaction to form vinyl chloride. The only stream leaving the reactor goes to a separation unit where all the vinyl chloride and all the dichlorethane are condensed and removed through a bottom liquid stream.
