Acrylic acid ( ) is used to prepare polymers, adhesives, and paints. The first step to make acrylic acid involves the vapor-phase oxidation of propylene ( ) to acrolein ( ). This step is carried out at 330_C and 2.5 atm in a large bundle of tubes around which circulates a heat-transfer agent. The reactants spend an average of 1.8 s in the tubes, which have a void space of 100 ft3. How many pounds of propylene must be added per hour in a mixture whose mole fractions are 0.07 propylene, 0.35 steam, and 0.58 air?
