The synthesis of methanol from carbon monoxide and hydrogen iscarried out in a continuous vapor phase reactor at 5.00 atmabsolute. The feed contains CO and H2 in stoichiometricproportion and enters the reactor at 25 oC and 5 atm ata rate of 17.1 m3/h. The product stream emerges from thereactor at 127 oC. The rate of heat transfer from thereactor is 17.05 kW. Calculate the fractional conversion achievedand the volumetric flow rate (m3/h) of the productstream.
