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
Excel formulas get me confused at the very basic level and to say that I was in deep waters with using Excel Solver in my math assignments would be an understatement. Thanks to the Excel Solver assignment help experts at HwA, I am now much more confident and my grades have improved.
Rachel Hawkins Student
I had difficulty in understanding the quantitative chemistry assignment. The assignment expert at HwA helped me understand the topic in a lucid manner and also guided me to write the quantitative chemistry assignment in a way that fetched me an A!
Paul Scholes Student
I chose civil engineering for my graduate studies because I am fascinated with the concepts of municipal and urban engineering. Since it has been my area of interest from high school and I had done some research on the topic I thought the graduate program would be a breeze. But I was soon proved wrong and found myself struggling from the very first semester. At TheReliableTutor my online civil engineering assignment tutor helped walk me through the different concepts and with in-depth quality research that was missing from my work.
Mindy Wong Student
1. My main concern was the relevant research and reference work that is required in my Masters course in the university. They are very particular about referenced and researched assignments and with the stats experts at TheReliableTutor.com I have never have had to worry about that since the experts provide the most excellent and relevant references in all my assignments which help me get top marks in the class.
Amanda Swift Student
I found it very difficult in keeping up with the assignments with the rest of the class and also had problems with the topics like probability, displaying data etc. Then I found TheReliableTutor.com and all my misery has come to an end. The stats experts here helped me out with all my assignments and since then I have been getting better grades. Thanks a lot….

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
