2. In an ethanol production plant, a separator produces a 99% ethanol product from a feedstock stream containing 85% water and 15% ethanol at a rate of 450 Ib/min. The separator has two outlet streams: the ethanol product outlet stream (99% ethanol) and a residual water stream. 30% of the feedstock is bypassed and mixed with the residual water stream leaving the separator. If 60% of the ethanol entering the separator is recovered in the product stream, determine the composition of the residual water stream just after leaving the separator and the composition of the residual stream after mixing with the bypass stream.

In a chemical production plant, cyclohexane is made by the reaction of benzene and hydrogen. Reaction is as follows: CHs + H2 → CoH12 The complete process of producing cyclohexane uses a reactor and a separator. Using the process shown below and assuming 20 % excess hydrogen in the fresh feed, find the ratio of the recycle stream to the fresh feed stream, the composition of the final product stream, and the composition of the stream leaving the reactor. The overall conversion of benzene is 92% and the single-pass conversion is 21.5 %. The recycle stream is composed of 23.9 % benzene and the remaining hydrogen.

Methanol (CH3OH) is produced in the reaction of carbon dioxide and hydrogen via the reaction and process given below: CO2+3H2→CH3OH+H2O The fresh feed to the process contains hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and 0.400 mol% inerts (I). The reactor effluent passes through a condenser that removes essentially all of the methanol and water formed and none of the reactants or inerts. The unreacted reactants and inerts are recycled to the reactor. To avoid buildup of the inerts in the system, a purge stream is withdrawn from the recycle. 100 mol/h of feed to the reactor (not the fresh feed to the process) contains 29.5 mol% CO2, 68.0 mol% H2, and 2.50 mol% inerts. The single-pass conversion of hydrogen is 46.71%. What is the recycle-to-fresh feed ratio?
Feed gas containing of 78.5mol % H₂, 21% of N₂ & 0.5% of Ar is mixed with recycle gas and enters a reactor where 15% N₂ is converted to NH3 as per the reaction. Ammonia from the exit of the reactor is completely separated from unconverted gases. To avoid the buildup of inerts, a small fraction (5%) of the unreacted gases purged and the balance recycled.

A steady-state process to recover crystalline potassium chromate (K,CrOz) from an aqueous solution of this salt is required. Four thousand kilograms per hour of a solution that is one-third K,CrO, by mass is joined by a recycle stream containing 36.4% K2CrO7, and the combined stream is fed into an evaporator. The concentrated stream leaving the evaporator contains 49.4% K,CrO; this stream is fed into a crystallizer in which it is cooled (causing crystals of K,CrO, to come out of solution) and then filtered. The filter cake consists of K,CrO, crystals and a solution that contains 36.4% K,CrO, by mass; the crystals account for 95% of the total mass of the filter cake. The solution that passes through the filter, also 36.4% K,CrO,, is the recycle stream. 1- Draw the flowchart of the system and put all known information. 2- Calculate the rate of evaporation, the rate of production of crystalline K,CrO7, the feed rates that the evaporator and the crystallizer must be designed to handle, and…

Q3/ A 100 mole feed containing equimolar amounts of methanol and water is mixe with 10 moles of a 40 mole% aqueous methanol stream. The mixture enters a distillation column that creates two streams. A top stream exits that contains 70 mole% methanol and balance with water. The bottom stream, which is 70 moles, enters a second distillation column. A top stream exits the second column as a 50% methanol and 50% water. The two top streams exiting the distillation column have the same flow rate. Calculate all unknown streams variables.
To prepare a delicious banana milk on an industrial scale, there is an experimental process that consists of seven unit operations. A stream of banana (whose components are fruit, peel, and moisture) is fed to a peeler, where 99.9% of the peel is removed. This stream should become pulp, so it is mixed with an additive Q to avoid pulp oxidation. This mixture is then sent to an extruder press wherein a stream of a 50:50 mixture of additives Q and R is added. The resulting flow of 30 kg/h has a composition of 2% additive R and 5% additive Q. This flow is then fed to an agitated mixer. To the same mixer is fed a dairy stream of 250 kg/h that contains 70% milk (the rest is water) and a sweet aqueous stream that contains 30% sugar. For each 25 kg/h of dairy flow, 2 kg/h of the sweet flow is fed. The stream that leaves the agitated mixer has 5% fruit and 0.005% peel and enters a series of two thermal processes in which each operation allows 5% of the water and 2% of the milk to evaporate.
