    This document contains three exercises involving material and energy balances of chemical reaction processes: 1. A fuel gas containing methane and ethane is combusted with oxygen and the heat of reaction is calculated. 2. Methane is reacted to form acetylene and hydrogen in a reactor at high temperature and the extent of reaction and heat transfer are determined. 3. Methanol and oxygen are reacted to form formaldehyde and water, and material and energy balances are performed to calculate the heat transfer rate to the reactor.

    Excercise (Chapter 6)

    1.A fuel containing 85.0 mole% methane and 15.0 mole% ethane is burned completely with
    10% excess pure oxygen at 25°C, and the products are brought back to 25°C. The products
    contains carbon dioxide, water vapor and oxygen. The combustion reactions are shown in
    eq 1 and 2.

    𝐶𝐻4 (𝑔) + 2𝑂2 (𝑔) → 𝐶𝑂2 (𝑔) + 2𝐻2 𝑂(𝑣) ̂𝑐𝑜 = −890.36𝑘𝐽/𝑚𝑜𝑙
    ∆𝐻 Eq1
    7 ̂𝑐𝑜 = −1559.9𝑘𝐽/𝑚𝑜𝑙
    𝐶𝐻6 (𝑔) + 𝑂2 (𝑔) → 2𝐶𝑂2 (𝑔) + 3𝐻2 𝑂(𝑣) ∆𝐻 Eq2
    2

    a) Taking the basis of 1 mol/s of the fuel gas, draw and label a flowchart of this process (3M)
    b) Calculate the molar flow rates of gas leaving the reactor and extents of reactions. (12 M)
    c) Determine the rate at which heat must transferred to the reactor in kW. (19 M)
    FE Sem II 1516

    2. Methane (CH4) is fed to a reactor at 250°C at a rate of 10 mol/s. Acetylene (C2H2)


    and hydrogen (H2) are produced from this reaction. The product temperature is at
    1000°C and the fractional conversion of methane is 0.60.

    a) Write the stoichiometric equation of the reaction. (1 Mark)


    b) Draw and label the process flow chart.(4 Marks)
    c) Perform degree of freedom analysis(4 Marks)
    d) Calculate all unknown variables in the flow chart.(3 Marks)
    e) Calculate the extent of reaction for methane(1 Mark)
    f) Determine the total heat transfer (Q) using heat of reaction method.(12 Marks)

    3. Formaldehyde is produced in the reaction between methanol and oxygen:

    2 CH3 OH(l) + O2 (g) → 2 HCHO(g) + 2 H2 O(g) ̂ °r = -326.2 kJ/mol


    ∆H

    50 mol of CH3OH/s and 100 mol of CO/s into the reactor at 25°C which the CH3OH is
    completely consumed. The products are emerges at the outlet stream at 200°C.

    a) Is the reaction exothermic or endothermic at 25°C. Would you have to heat or


    cool the reactor to keep the temperature constant? (2 Marks)
    b) Perform the material balance for this reaction process.(8 Marks)
    c) Calculate the rate (kW) at which heat must be transferred to or from the
    reactor, assuming operation at approximately 1 atm.(15 Marks)
