It is desired to produce 200 million pounds per year of EG. The reactor is to be operated isothermally. A 1 lbmol/frs aqueous solution of ethylene oxide (EO) is fed to the reactor together with an equal volumetric solution of water containing 0.9 wt% of the catalyst H2SO4

DO MATERIAL BALANCE ( lb-mol/s) USING EXTINCT OF REACTION STARTING FROM STREAM 9
