A multi - unit process first combusts propane and then removes water from the exhaust stream. The process is designed to run at steady state.

A multi-unit process first combusts propane and then removes water from the exhaust stream. The process is designed to run at steady state. The company designing the process knows that they want to burn 70% of the propane (i.e. yield of CO2 is only 70% of complete combustion of propane). The simple combustion reaction for propane is given below.
Solve for the stream d rate
C3H8+5O24H2O+3CO2
Stream D
Rate: D=??
Composition:
Dw=100%
Stream A
Rate: A=0.4mol? hour
Composition:
Oxygen: A0=22.8%
Nitrogen: AN=76.4%
Water: AW=??
Stream B
Rate: B=0.01mol? hour
Composition:
Propane: Bp=100%
Stream E
Rate: E=?mols
Composition:
Oxygen: EO=
Nitrogen: EN=
Water: EW=2%
Propane: Ep=CO2:EC=
