Question

Ammonia is produced by the catalytic reaction of nitrogen and hydrogen. Write the chemical reaction and balance it. Determine the stoichiometric coefficients. If 15 mol/sec of H_2 is fed to the reactor, determine the amount of N_2 required if a 20.% excess (of N_2) is desired. If 5.0 mol/sec of H_2 exits the catalytic reactor, determine: zeta the number of moles of all three components exiting the reactor. the conversion of H_2 and N_2 the exiting concentration of H_2, N_2, and ammonia. What are strategies to increase the conversion of H_2?

Explanation / Answer

d)Increasing the concentration of Hydrogen,using Iron oxide as catalyst,using K2O &Al2O3 as promoters,high pressures at 200 atm,temperature at 700K may increase the conversion of Hydrogen in Ammonia synthesis.
