    Q6: Solution:

    According to the given information


    Methane:
    T = 25o C
    P = 1 atm

    Heating value of Methane H^ = 801.363 kJ/mol


    Water:
    T = 15 o C
    P = 400 KPa = 3.96 atm
    T
    kJ kJ
    H^ of + CpidT
    mol mol
    Heating value of Water @ 15 oC H^ = 25 = -241.83 2.1 =
    -243.93 kJ/mol
    kJ kJ
    Heating value of Water @ 180 oC H^ = -241.83 mol + 5.6 mol = -236.23 kJ/mol

    2.5 mol steam


    Ratio before reformer=
    mol of CH 4

    Applying energy balance for continuous process

    H + Ek + E p =QW shaft ,out


    As there is no kinetic energy, potential work and shaft work taking place so neglecting these
    terms reduce the equation to

    Neglecting the terms


    E k , E p and W shaft,out

    So the equation reduced to

    H =Q= ni H^ i ni H^ i
    outlet inlet Equation 1
    So in the mixer two components are mixed so Heat of reaction for reaction 1 can be calculated
    using
    Finding the number of moles
    nCH = 16.814
    4 ,in =0.27 mol/ s
    2980.08206
    n H 2O,in = 3.940.0123
    =0.0017 0 mol /s
    2980.08206

    At the outlet condition, we have:

    n H 2O,out 2.5 gmol of steam


    0.278 gmol of CH 4 = 0.696 gmol of steam/ s
    gmol of CH 4

    s

    nCH 4, out 2.5 gmol of steam


    s = 0.276 gmol of CH4/ s
    gmol of CH 4

    0.69 gm of steam
    Substituting the values in Equation 1:

    H = (0.696 gmol of CH 4 * 801.63 kJ +0.276 gmol of H 20 243.93 kJ -


    S gmol s gmol
    gmol of CH 4 kJ 0.00170 gmol of H 20 kJ
    (0.276 801.63 + 236.23
    S gmol s gmol

    H = Q = 277.36 kJ = 277 KW
    s

    Q7: Solution:
    Steam Reformer Power requirement
    The reform data is given as
    Moles in Hin Moles out Hout
    CH4 1002.7 801.63 43.345 -
    H20 2506.88 -236.514 1402.9176 -216.91
    CO 0 - 814.85 -89.7
    H2 0 - 3022.794 -361.2
    CO2 0 - 144.561 19.8
    Total 3509.64 5428.4676
    kJ kJ
    Heating value of Water @ 180 oC H^ = -241.83 mol + 5.6 mol = -236.23 kJ/mol

    kJ kJ
    Heating value of Water @ 700 oC H^ = -241.83 mol + 5.6 mol = -236.514 kJ/mol
    2.5 mol steam
    Ratio before reformer=
    mol of CH 4

    Applying energy balance for continuous process

    H + Ek + E p=QW shaft ,out


    As there is no kinetic energy, potential work and shaft work taking place so neglecting these
    terms reduce the equation to

    Neglecting the terms


    E k , E p and W shaft,out

    So the equation reduced to

    H =Q= ni H^ i ni H^ i
    outlet inlet Equation 1
    From the data we have calculated values of number of moles enthalpy
    Substituting the values in equation 1

    H = (1402.916*-236.514+814.85*-89.7*3022.794*-361.2*144.561*19.8) -

    (1002.756*801.63 + 2506.89*-236.23) = 685.8 KW
