Energy Balance On Reactor

The document provides information on an energy balance and material balance for a reactor process. For the energy balance: Methanol, toluene, and nitrogen enter the reactor at 400°C and 430°C respectively and react, producing products including p-xylene, m-xylene, o-xylene, and water, exiting at 650°C. The overall enthalpy change is calculated to be -10,809.3 kJ/mol. For the material balance: A decanter separates a feed stream containing toluene, nitrogen, water, and xylene products, producing a p-xylene stream and a recycle toluene stream.
