To design a chemical reactor for the production of 2000 kg of ammonia per hour using the Haber-Bosch process, we need to consider the stoichiometry of the reaction, the optimal operating conditions, and the type of catalyst to be used.The balanced equation for the Haber-Bosch process is:N2 g + 3H2 g 2NH3 g From the stoichiometry of the reaction, we can determine the required molar flow rates of the reactants:1 mol N2 reacts with 3 mol H2 to produce 2 mol NH3.Molar mass of N2 = 28 g/molMolar mass of H2 = 2 g/molMolar mass of NH3 = 17 g/molThe target production rate is 2000 kg NH3/hour, which is equivalent to:2000 kg/h * 1000 g/kg * 1 mol/17 g = 117,647 mol/hTo achieve this production rate, we need the following molar flow rates of reactants:N2: 117,647 mol/h * 1 mol N2/2 mol NH3 = 58,824 mol/hH2: 117,647 mol/h * 3 mol H2/2 mol NH3 = 176,471 mol/hThese molar flow rates correspond to the following mass flow rates:N2: 58,824 mol/h * 28 g/mol * 1 kg/1000 g = 1647 kg/hH2: 176,471 mol/h * 2 g/mol * 1 kg/1000 g = 353 kg/hThe given mass flow rates of nitrogen and hydrogen are 3000 kg/h and 6000 kg/h, respectively. This means that the reactants are supplied in excess, which is common in industrial processes to ensure high conversion.Next, we need to determine the optimal operating conditions for the reactor. The Haber-Bosch process is an exothermic reaction, and according to Le Chatelier's principle, lower temperatures favor the formation of ammonia. However, lower temperatures also result in slower reaction rates. Therefore, a compromise must be made between yield and reaction rate. Typically, the Haber-Bosch process operates at temperatures between 400-500C.Higher pressures also favor the formation of ammonia, as there are fewer moles of gas on the product side of the reaction. Industrial ammonia synthesis typically operates at pressures between 150-300 atm. For this design, we can choose a pressure of 200 atm and a temperature of 450C as suitable operating conditions.Lastly, we need to select an appropriate catalyst. The most commonly used catalyst in the Haber-Bosch process is iron with potassium oxide as a promoter. This catalyst has proven to be highly effective and cost-efficient.In summary, to design a chemical reactor for the production of 2000 kg of ammonia per hour using the Haber-Bosch process, we propose the following operating conditions:1. Reactor feed: 3000 kg/h N2 and 6000 kg/h H22. Operating pressure: 200 atm3. Operating temperature: 450C4. Catalyst: Iron with potassium oxide promoter
