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?

Air is to be cooled in the evaporator section of a refrigerator by passing it over a bank of 0.8-cm-outer-diameter and 0.4-m-long tubes inside which the refrigerant is evaporating at -20°c. air approaches the tube bank in the normal direction at 0°c and 1 atm with a mean velocity of 4 m/s. the tubes are arranged in-line with longitudinal and transverse pitches of sl- st 1.5 cm. there are 30 rows in the flow direction with 15 tubes in each row. determine (a) the refrigeration capacity of this system and (b) pressure drop across the tube bank. evaluate the air properties at an assumed mean temperature of -5°c and 1 atm. is this a good assumption?
