1.7 kg/s NH3 and 20 m3/s air at 25 oC and 1 atm are fed into a reactor in which the ammonia is completely consumed. The product gas emerges at 300 oC. Calculate the rate at which heat must be transferred to or from the reactor, assuming operation at approximately 1 atm. You must show full systematic working.
The standard heat of reaction for the oxidation of ammonia is
given below: 4 NH3(g) + 5 O2(g) ? 4 NO(g) + 6 H2O(v): ?Hor = -904.7
kJ/mol
Note: The enthalpy of NO at 300 oC, relative to 25 oC, is 8.453
