Question
Transcribed Image Text:1000 k mol/h of fresh feed consisting of 2% propane and 98% propylene
by volume is mixed with the recycle stream and enters the reactor.
Propylene is converted to hexene by the reaction : 2 C3H6 → C6H12 and
a conversion of 80% is obtained. The product is completely separated in
a separator from the unconverted gases. A small fraction of the
unconverted gases are purged such that the propane concentration does
not exceed 5 mol% in the combined feed entering the reactor.
Calculate
the amount recycled and its composition.
the composition of the stream leaving the reactor.
the amounts of purge and product.

C,H,CH; + H, C,H, + CH4 A stream of toluene is mixed with a recycle stream and enters a reactor along with a stream of pure hydrogen. The reaction products at 550 °C enter a condenser, where they are cooled to 41.0 °C. A vapor stream containing Y5CH, = 0.600 mol CH,/mol leaves the process, and a liquid stream containing x66 = 0.810 mol benzene/mol and x6 = 0.190 mol toluene/mol enters a distillation column. The distillate of the column leaves the process at n7 = 668.0 mol/h and contains y7h = 0.9000 mol benzene/mol and y7 = 0.1000 mol toluene/mol. The bottoms of the column contains X8b = 0.250 mol benzene/mol and xgt = 0.750 mol toluene/mol and is recycled back to the fresh feed. Hydrogen is fed into the process at ni = 1183 mol H,/h.

- Aniline is produced by the hydrogenation of nitrobenzene. A small amount of cyclohexylamine is produced as a by-product. Nitrobenzene is fed to the reactor as a vapor with three times the required stoichiometric amount of hydrogen. The conversion of nitrobenzene to the products is 96% and the selectivity to aniline is 85%. Unreacted hydrogen is separated from the reaction products and recycled to the reactor. From the recycle line it is purged to keep the inerts in the recycle stream below 5%. The fresh hydrogen that is fed is 99.5% pure and the rest is inert. Calculate the adiabatic outlet temperature of the reaction products and indicate the relationship with respect to the reference temperature (298.15) (in K):arrow_forwardCalculate the amount of heat required to pass through each section of the graph.

- Professor Modyn's steady state flow reactor is now fed acetylene (C₂H₂) at 2.000 mol/s. The acetylene is combusted with 45.00% excess dry air to form CO2 and H2O. Limitations within the reactor only allow 82.00% of the acetylene to react. Both the acetylene and air enter the reactor at 25 °C, and the products leave the reactor at 1027.00 °C.
