Question

The temperature inside a CO conversion reactor can be moderated by injecting an excess of water vapor. Assuming a feed of 30% CO, 20% H2 and 50% H20 at 600° F and that 90% CO is converted, I calculated how much additional steam at 550 F will be necessary (per mol of feed) to maintain the reactor outlet temperature to a maximum of 850 ° F. The stoichiometry of the reaction is: CO(8) + H0(g) CO2(8) + H2(g) Solve in 3 ways: By The Averaged Specific Heat Cp . Reference Temperature Using 400° F As Reference Temperature.

Answer 1

The specific heat data is collected from net. So, the answer may vary a bit.
