The combustion of n c3h8 = 100 kmol.h^-1 propane gas ( pure fuel stream) takes place at isobaric-atmospheric conditions ( P= 1atm) in a continuous reactor, in the presence of air and using an oxygen inlet of n O₂( g) = 1000kmol.h-1 according to:

C₃H₈ + 5O₂( g) ----- 3CO₂ + 4H₂O

The inlet gases are supplied at T=25^oC, and leave the reactor at T= 300^oC, according to the following values:

Compound	Kmol/h / outl
C3H8 ( g)	50
O₂ ( g)	750
CO₂ ( g)	150
H₂O	200
N₂	balance

Calculate the extent of reaction and fractional conversion of propane
Calculate the High Heating Value HHV_C3H8 and specific heat of reaction R1 at 25^oc and 1atm
Calculate heat released or absorbed in the process ( MW)

If the reaction takes place in a tubular reactor, following a first order kinetics, according to

-r_{C3H8 ( g) =} K. C_{c3H8( g)} k = 60hr^-1

Iv estimate the reactor volume needed to carry out the reaction in previous conditions, c₃H₈ (g) = 0.5
