Question

Problem 2 (12.5pts) Ethylene can be produced in a continuous dehydrogenation process at steady state. $C_2H_6 \rightarrow C_2H_4 + H_2$ $C_2H_6 + H_2 \rightarrow 2CH_4$ The feed contains 85.0 mole% ethane ($C_2H_6$) and the balance inerts (I). The fractional conversion of ethane is 0.501, and the selectivity of ethylene to methane is 7.7. Calculate the molar composition of the product gas and the fractional yield of ethylene.

          Problem 2 (12.5pts)
Ethylene can be produced in a continuous dehydrogenation process at steady state.
$C_2H_6 \rightarrow C_2H_4 + H_2$
$C_2H_6 + H_2 \rightarrow 2CH_4$
The feed contains 85.0 mole% ethane ($C_2H_6$) and the balance inerts (I). The fractional conversion of ethane is 0.501, and the selectivity of ethylene to methane is 7.7. Calculate the molar composition of the product gas and the fractional yield of ethylene.
