Ammonia is produced by the following reaction \[ \text{N}_2 + 3\text{H}_2 \rightleftharpoons 2\text{NH}_3 \] In a commercial process for ammonia production, the feed to an adiabatic reactor contains 1 kmol/s of nitrogen and stoichiometric amount of hydrogen at 700 K. What is the maximum allowable conversion (in percentage) in the reactor, if the adiabatic temperature rise across the reactor should not exceed 100 K. Assume the feed and product streams to be ideal gas mixtures. The heat of reaction at 700 K for the above reaction is calculated to be -94.2 kJ/mol. Mean molar heat capacities (\(C_P\)), in the range 700 - 800 K, are 0.03, 0.0289 and 0.0492 kJ/mol.K for nitrogen, hydrogen and ammonia respectively.

Heat Loss from the Combustion System Page

2014-42-pc

Carbon monoxide (CO) is burnt in presence of 200% excess pure oxygen and the flame temperature achieved is 2298 K. The inlet streams are at 25^oC. The standard heat of formation (at 25^oC) of CO and CO₂ are -110 kJ.mol^-1 and -390 kJ.mol^-1, respectively. The heat capacities (in J.mol^-1.K^-1) of the components are \[ C_{P_{\text{O}_2}}= 25 + 14\times10^{-3}T \qquad C_{P_{\text{CO}_2}} = 25 + 42\times10^{-3}T \] where, \(T\) is the temperature in K. The heat loss (in kJ) per mole of CO burnt is _______.

Isothermal Operation of Combustor to Convert Carbon and CO2 to CO Page

1997-13-pc

A feed at 1298 K, consisting of flue gas (\(\ce {CO2}\), \(\ce {O2}\) and \(\ce {N2}\)) and air, is passed through a bed of pure carbon. The reactions that occur both go to completion. \[ \begin {align*} \ce {CO2(g)} + \ce {C(s)} &\rightarrow 2\ce {CO(g)}, \quad \Delta H^\circ _R \text { at 298 K = 170 kJ/mol} \\
\ce {O2(g)} + 2\ce {C(s)} &\rightarrow 2\ce {CO(g)}, \quad \Delta H^\circ _R \text { at 298 K = \(-\)220.4 kJ/mol} \end {align*} \] The combustor is adiabatic and the product gases exit at 1298 K. Calculate the required moles of \(\ce {CO2}\) per mole of \(\ce {O2}\) in the feed stream, so that the net heat generated is zero and the bed temperature remains constant at 1298 K.
