Product P is produced from reactant R according to the reaction 2 R P + W Unfortunately, both the reactant and the product decompose to

Product P is produced from reactant R according to the reaction
2RP+W
Unfortunately, both the reactant and the product decompose to form byproduct B according to the reactions
RB+P
P2B+W
Only 50% conversion of R is achieved in the reactor when a fresh feed containing 1 mole inert I to 11 moles R is used. The unreacted R and inerts are separated from the reactor products and recycled. Some of the unreacted R and inerts are purged to limit the inerts level in the combined reactor feed to 12mol%. If the reactor outlet analyzes 21 mole %P and 7mole%B, do the following:
a. Perform degrees of freedom analysis on all the units and the overall process.
b. Calculate all the flow rates in the process for a fresh feed rate of 100molhr.
c. Calculate the overall conversion of R.
