Methanol is synthesized from carbon monoxide and hydrogen in the reaction: CO+2H2---> CH3OH.

However, there is an undesirable secondary reaction that produces ethane and water.

2CH3OH+H2 ---> C2H6+2H2O

Fresh feed to the system, containing only COe H2, is fed to the reactor. If 800 kmol/h are fed to the reactor whose feeding specifications are 3 Kmol/h of H2 for every 1 Kmol of CO. The CO conversion fraction is 70% and the methanol/ethane selectivity is 0.9. Make and label the flow chart of the process. raise the material balances and perform the analysis of degrees of freedom.

a) Flows of all components (Kmol/h)

b) The progress of the reaction

c) Process performance

Total reactor outlet flow Q= _____ Kmol/h

1= _____Kmol/h

2= _____Kmol/h

Yield=1=_____%
