The coke is fed at 77�F, and the CO2enters at 400�F. Heat is transferred to the reactor in the amountof 5859 Btu/lbm coke fed, the gaseous products and the solidreactor effluent (the ash and unburned carbon) leave the reactor at1830�F. The heat capacity of the solid is 0.24 Btu/(lbm?�F). (a)Calculate the percentage conversion of the carbon in the coke.
