Ammonia Synthesis in DWSIM | Equilibrium Reactor Simulation (N₂–H₂ System) #DWSIM #AmmoniaSynthesis

In this video, we simulate ammonia production using an equilibrium reactor in DWSIM.

🔹 Problem Statement

Ammonia is produced by the equilibrium reaction between nitrogen and hydrogen:

N2+3H2⇌2NH3

A gas mixture enters the equilibrium reactor at:
Temperature: 100 °C
Pressure: 170 bar
Mass flow rate: 1000 kg/h

Feed composition:
Nitrogen = 0.25 mole fraction
Hydrogen = 0.75 mole fraction

The equilibrium constant for the reaction at these conditions is K = 1.2 bar².

Using DWSIM, the equilibrium composition of the outlet stream and the amount of ammonia formed are determined.

This video focuses on:
Setting up an equilibrium reactor in DWSIM
Defining reaction stoichiometry and operating conditions
Interpreting outlet compositions and energy effects

🔹 Software Used
