Hi all,

I have two reaction occuring a reactor for the synthesis of styrene (from ethylbenzene and benzene). One of them produces some hydrogen and we want to remove it directly with a flash afterwards to burn it. I assumed a recovery of hydrogen of 1% but I need to estimate the temperature of the flash for my short-cut model. The reactor runs at 1.3 bar.

Any ideas ?
