Use Balances And Not Guesses Based On Stoichiometry Sulfur Dioxide Is Converted To Sulfur Trioxide By Oxidation Over A 1 (86.96 KiB) Viewed 51 times
Use balances and not guesses based on stoichiometry. Sulfur dioxide is converted to sulfur trioxide by oxidation over a V205 catalyst, at atmospheric pressure. In the reactor configuration, SO2 and 02 (available at 300°C and 25°C, respectively) are preheated to 425°C and fed in stoichiometric ratio to the reactor. The conversion is 96% and, to prevent the reactor temperature from rising too high, 10 kcal are removed directly from the reactor for each mole of combined feeding. The last heat exchanger in the process is used to generate 300 psia steam, by cooling the reactor discharge stream to 400 °C. Calculate the outlet temperature of the reactor. Assume no heat loss to the surroundings. (Hint: You can work with a power supply of 100 mol S02) Use the polynomials for CP from Felder's book
