Question 2 Material balance involving chemical reaction
Carbon monoxide reacts with Hydrogen to produce Methanol. A fresh feed stream (stream1) containing CO and H2 and the overhead stream (stream 3) containing CO,H2 and CH3OH combines in a mixer and the combined stream (stream 2) is fed to the reactor. The outlet of the reactor (stream 4) flows at 1000molhr and contains 6% mols H2,74% mols CO and 20% mols CH3OH. This stream enters the condenser, where the stream is condensed, and methanol (stream 5) is removed from the process. The overhead stream (stream 3) contains H2,CO and 0.5% mols CH3OH.
CO+2H2CH3OH
a) Calculate the production rate of methanol (stream 5) in mol/hr?
b) Calculate the molar flow rate and composition of the feed stream (stream 1)?
c) Determine the single pass and overall conversion?
