Methane is synthesized with a stoichiometric mixture of CO andH2 that is produced via a large scale coal gasification process
CO + 3H2 = CH4 + H2O
over Ni/Alumina catalyst.
(a) What is the equilbrium conversion you can get at400oC and 1 atm?
(b) Because of exothermic nature of the reaction, reactiontemperature inside a large scale commercial reactor could be raisedto 700oC even if the feed temperature is kept at350oC. Estimate the equilibrium conversion at700oC and 1 atm.
(c) At what pressure will the equilibrium conversion be 90% at700oC ?
+) to the comments
No, I don't have any.. the text i typed above is all my prof.gave me. Are those information just a common sense that he thinksthat he doesn't have to inform us?
p.s. My major is Chemical engineering and this class is aboutReaction Engineering
