100 mol/h of N2 and 300 mol/h of H2 are fed to an isothermal reactor at 350°C to carry out the following gas-phase reaction:
N2 + 3H2 → 2NH3
Assume the heat capacities for the components are the following:
Cp(N2) = Cp(H2) = 29 J/mol-K
Cp(NH3) = 36 J/mol-K
How much heat must be removed from the reactor if the conversion is 75%? The heat of formation of ammonia at 25°C is -46 kJ/mol.
