I am reacting natural gas in a prereformer to form syngas. There are three equations:

 

CnHm+ nH2O⟶nCO + (n+½m)H2

CO + 3H2⇌CH4+ H2O

CO + H2O⇌CO2+ H2

 

How do I simulate reversible and irreversible reactions in a single reactor for HYSYS? Also my natural gas was semi-processed such that there is no hydrogen. How do I manually calculate the conversion for this system of reactions? The third equation is particularly tricky because there is no CO or H2.
