If a mixture of steam and ethyl benzene is fed to an


Styrene can be made by catalytic dehydrogenation of ethyl benzene. The reaction is usually carried out in the presence of steam, which acts as a heat carrier and reduces coking on the catalyst. If a mixture of steam and ethyl benzene is fed to an adiabatic reactor at 2 bar, 640 °C, estimate the equilibrium conversion and outlet temperature as a function of the ratio of steam to ethyl benzene. What ratio would you recommend using in practice?
