The dehydrogenation of 1-butene to butadiene, C4H8(g) H2(g) + C4H6(g), is conducted by introducing a feed of 1-butene at 900 K. a) What are the mole fractions and the temperature of the outlet if the system is adiabatic at 100 bar and the system reaches equilibrium conversion? b) Name and explain one measure that can be taken to reduce the temperature for the adiabatic reactor. Does that measure improve or reduce your conversion?

Q.1 Iso-octane (a gasoline blend) can be produced by the reaction: C4H8 (Butene) + i-C4H10 (isobutane) > C&H18 (iso-octane) The reaction takes place in the liquid phase at 45 F and 90 psia. The desired production of isooctane is 918 mol/h. One feed stream containing 80 mol% butene, 12% n-butane and 8% propane is mixed-in equi-molar ratio- with another stream containing 73 mol% isobutane, 15% n- butane and 12% propane. The mixed feed streams enter the reactor at 45° F...
