Equation of death gets solved!

The equation of death has been solved.

** WARNING! MATHS AHEAD CLOSE YOUR EYES IF YOU DON'T WANT YOUR HEAD TO EXPLODE **

The way I had the equation set up, I was solving for the conversion of the reaction. This meant that I had to multiply the extent of reaction by the flow rate of the methane in the system, which was 1600 kmol/hour, and using the 3:1 flow ratio of methane and water I was able to solve for both conversions.

**OPEN YOUR EYES NOW**

X1=1472 so the conversion is 1472/1600 which is0.86

X2=128 This is actually only part of the actual answer; to solve for the conversion of this, you need to do this: (1472-128 )/1600 which is 0.7225

So I get a cookie. Which is a good thing since I haven't eaten since 8.30 and it's 4.20. Heh, 420.

(Not my actual cookie but it seemed fitting. I have oatmeal rasin. Om, nom, nom.)
