The ethanol dehydrogenation reaction  C2H5OH(v) --> CH3CHO(v) + H2(g) is carried out with the feed entering at 300 degrees celsius, the feed contains 90 mole% ethanol (C2H5OH) and 10% acetaldehyde (CH3CHO) with a flow rate of 200 mol/s. If the conversion of ethanol is 50% and the outlet temperature is 250 degrees celsius, how much heat is added to or removed from the reactor? c) calculate the required rate of heat transfer (KW) to or from the reactor.
