Question 2 ( CO 2 , PO 2 , C 2 , C 4 ) Ethane ( C 2 H 6 ) is formed from

Question 2(CO2, PO2, C2, C4)
Ethane (C2H6) is formed from dehydrogenation of ethylene (C2H2) as given below.
2H2+C2H2C2H6
The fresh feed to the reactor contains 584kgh ethylene (C2H2) and 200kgh of hydrogen gas (H2). The outlet stream from the reactor contains 15% hydrogen by mass. Then, the gas mixture enters the membrane separator. 100kgh of product mixture is separated out from the bottom of membrane separator consists of 5%kgkg hydrogen and 93%kgkg ethane and 2%kgkg ethylene. The gas stream leaving the membrane separator is then entered a splitter, where 70% of the mixture is recycle to the reactor and 30% of the mixture is discarded.
a) Redraw and completely label the flow diagram. (4 marks)
b) Determine the Degree of Freedom for overall system and around membrane separator unit. (3 marks)
c) Determine the amount of hydrogen reacted (mol ?h).(18 marks)[Note: Use the extent of reaction].
