ENERGY BALANCE ON
REACTOR:

ENERGY BALANCE:

The raw material methanol + air + water enters the reactor at 650 C.

Moles of product formed from the reaction =342.93 Kgmol


Heat of reaction=-2.57e7KJ
Heat leaving the reactor = Heat entering with reactant + Heat of reaction

Here we determine
how much heat
leaving reactor

Heat leaving the reactor =-1.13e+10J


Since the reaction is exothermic and reaction is to be maintained at 650C all the heat that is formed by
the reaction is taken out by cooling system.

Heat taken out by the cooler =

1.13E+10J

Here we determine
how much heat taken
by cooler

Assume water at 25C is used as cooling agent.The temperature of water is expacted to reach 100C.

Mass of water required =

36050.8787Kg

Finally we determine
how much water reuired
