1. Acrylonitrile is produced by the reaction of propylene, ammonia, and oxygen C3H6 + NH3 + O2 C3H3N + 3H2O The feed contains 10 mole% propylene, 12% ammonia, and 78% air. A fractional conversion of 30% of the limiting reactant is achieved. Determine which reactant is limiting, the percentage by which each of the other reactants is in excess, and the molar flow rates of all product gas constituents for a 30% conversion of the limiting reactant, taking 100...
(Multiple reactions with heat effects). Styrene can be produced from ethylbenzene by the following reaction: 2 H styrene ne ethylbenze + ↔ (1) However, several irreversible side reactions also occur: ethylene benzene ne ethylbenze + → (2) methane toluene H ne ethylbenze 2 + → + (3) [J. Snyder and B. Subramaniam, Chem. Eng. Sci., 49, 5585 (1994)]. Ethylbenzene is fed at a rate of 0.00344 kmol/s to a 10.0- m 3 PFR reactor along with inert steam at a...
