Carbon monoxide molar heat capacity

Table 6.1 Comparison of the mean molar heat capacities for carbon dioxide and hydrogen, and carbon monoxide and water...

The feed stream to the reactor is based on a 2 1 molar flow rate ratio of hydrogen to carbon monoxide. This corresponds to an inlet CO mass fraction of a, inlet = 0.875. The heat capacity of the mixture for this specific problem reduces to... 

Problem 9.5 In the process below, all streams are mixtures of methane/carbon monoxide with molar compositions indicated on the flow chart in Figure q-2. Calculate the material and energy balances and perform an entropy analysis of the mixing point, the heat exchanger, and of the entire process. The heat capacities of methane and carbon monoxide are Cpa = 40.8 J/mol K, and Cpb = 29.4 J/mol K, respectively.
