Producing Acetylene via Catalytic Reaction of Methane and Oxygen
Question
One method of producing acetylene is via the catalytic reaction of methane and oxygen as shown in the reaction below:
6CH4 + O2 – 2C2H2+ 2CO+ 10H2
A schematic of the reaction is shown in Figure 2. Stream 1, containing 97 mol% methane and 3.0 mol% carbon dioxide and stream 2, containing 5% excess air, air are fed into the reactor. Stream 3, exiting the reactor, is monitored and found to contain 10.4 mol% acetylene. Stream 3 is subsequently fed into a flash drum where 95 percent of the acetylene is liquefied and comes out in stream 4. The flow rate of Stream 1 is 15,000 lb-mol/hr. 
a) Determine the flow rate (in lb-mol/hr) of stream 2.
b) What are the conversions of methane and oxygen?
c) Determine the flow rates (in lb-mol/hr) of Stream 4.
Summary
The question belongs to Chemical Engineering and the question is about acetylene production by catalytic reaction of methane and oxygen. The production of acetylene after the reaction has to be calculated.

WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY
I needed serious help with my inventory management assignment but was not sure how to find on the net. Luckily, in fact, very luckily I came across this website where the expert took time to understand the requirement of the assignment and also assisted me with the overall assignment and many more supply chain assignments after that. I kept on recommending this website to all my friends.

I have been using TheReliableTutor with help with my marketing assignments from the second semester and what can I say, my grades have never been better. The online marketing assignment help experts at HwA are extremely professional and available at all times of the day in case I need to clarify any facts.
Lora Hart Student
During my MBAs, Economics was never my strength. I often took help from HwA and they helped me get good grades. But eventually, as I was reading through a demand-supply analysis economics solution provided by them, I started to gain some interest. I chatted with the econ tutor of HwA for an hour and believe it or not, I fell in love with the subject.
Brandon Taylor Student
When the time came to do my final year research dissertation I came across HwA who not only helped me to write the paper but also at the same time enlightened me about the process of writing a proper research paper. I understood the basic difference between an essay and a research paper, thanks to the research paper writing experts of HwA.
Ann Bushnell Student
I was clueless about my post tracheostomy and laryngectomy patient care assignment, when I came across HwA. Never really believed in the beginning that they have a separate unit for respiratory system assignment solutions and the experts here are really helpful.

Hello Allison,I love the 2nd image that you did! I also, had never heard of SumoPaint, is something that I will have to exolpre a bit! I understand completely the 52 (or so) youtube videos that you probably watched. Sometimes they have what you want, sometimes they don't! However, it is always satisfying when you are able to produce something that you have taught yourself. Great job!Debra 0 likes
