Acetylene is hydrogenated to form ethane. The feed to the reactor contains 1.50 mol H2/mol C2H2.

a. Calculate the stoichiometric reactant ratio (mol H2 react/mol C2H2 react) and the yield ratio (kmol C2H6 formed/kmol H2 react).
b. Determine the limiting reactant and calculate the percentage by which the other reactant is in excess.
c. Calculate the mass feed rate of hydrogen (kg/s) required to produce 4×106 metric tons of ethane per year, assuming that the reaction goes to completion and that the process operates for 24 hours a day, 300 days a year.
d. There is a definite drawback to running with one reactant in excess rather than feeding the reactants in stoichiometric proportion. What is it?

Along 8-cm diameter steam pipe whose external surface temperature is 900c connects two buildings. the pipe is exposed to ambient air at 70c with a wind speed of 50 km/hr blowing across the pipe. determine the heat loss from the pipe per unit length. (b) air at 500c enters a section of a rectangular duct (15 cm x 20 cm) at an average velocity of 7 m/s. if the walls of the duct are maintained at 100c. a) the length of the tube for an exit temperature of the air to be 40 0c. b)the rate of heat transfer from the air. c) the fan power needed to overcome the pressure drop in this section of the duct.
