Q3: The elementary gas-phase oxidation of propane takes place in a flow reactor at 8.2
atm and 500 K, the feed consists of 10 mol% propane in air:
$C_3H_8 + 5O_2 \longrightarrow 3CO_2 + 4H_2O$
[25 Marks]
1. Determine the limiting reactant?
2. Set up a stoichiometric table?
3. What is the entering concentration of propane and oxygen? $C_{A} = Y \frac{\Theta}{\_}
4. Evaluate all constants ($\Theta_i$, $\delta$ and $\varepsilon$ etc.)?
5. Express $C_i$ for all species as functions of conversion?
6. Calculate the reaction rate at 70 conversion and k = 1 $dm^5$/mol.s?
