Description >> Reaction of carbon monoxide and water vapor to form carbon dioxide and hydrogen Let’s enter the Description.

Reaction of carbon monoxide and water vapor to form carbon dioxide and hydrogen.”

Point to Components/Stoichiometry Next part is the table of Components/Stoichiometry.
Point to Name field The first column Name shows the available components here.
Point to Molar Weight The second column corresponds to its Molar Weight.
Point to Include The next column is Include.

Under Include, check all the check boxes.

Point to BC

Check Carbon monoxide check box

The fourth column is BC.

Under BC, check the Carbon monoxide check box as conversion is defined in terms of Carbon monoxide.

Point to Stoich. Coeff. Next column is Stoich. Coeff. (stoichiometric coefficients)
Stoich. Coeff >> Carbon monoxide: -1, Water: -1, Hydrogen: 1, Carbon dioxide: 1 Under Stoic Coeff column, enter:

-1 for Carbon monoxide

-1 for Water

1 for Hydrogen and

1 for Carbon dioxide

Then press Enter.

Point to Stoichiometry field In the Stoichiometry field, we can see it shows OK.

It means the reaction is balanced after entering the stoichiometric coefficients.

Point to Equation field Here the Equation field shows the reaction equation.
Point to Equilibrium Reactions Parameters Then comes Equilibrium Reactions Parameters.
Basis>> Fugacity The Basis is already selected as fugacity.
Phase >> Vapor Select Phase as Vapor.
Point to Equilibrium Constant (Keq) Now, go to Equilibrium Constant (Keq).
In an Equilibrium Reaction, the equilibrium constant can be defined in three different ways.
Point to Gibbs Energy of Reaction First is Gibbs Energy of Reaction.

If the equilibrium constant is unknown, it is calculated directly from Gibbs energy of reaction.

Point to T function Second is T function.

Here the equilibrium constant can be defined as a function of temperature.

It is in the form of ln Keq = f(T).

Point to Constant value Third is Constant value where the equilibrium constant is defined directly.
Select Gibbs Energy of Reaction Here, we don't know the equilibrium constant directly or as a function of temperature.

So, we will let it calculate from the Gibbs energy of reaction.

Select Gibbs Energy of Reaction.

At the bottom, Click on OK.

Close Chemical Reactions Manager window.

Click on OK at the bottom.

And then close the Chemical Reactions Manager window.

Now let us insert an Equilibrium Reactor to the flowsheet.
