Question
The fresh feed to an ammonia process contains 24.75% mole
Nitrogen, 74.35% mole Hydrogen, and the balance inerts. The
feed is combined with a recycle stream containing the same
species, and the combined stream is fed to a reactor in which
0.25% single-pass conversion of nitrogen is achieved. The
product pass through a condenser in which essentially all of
the ammonia is removed and the remaining gases are
recycled. However, to prevent build up of the inerts in the
system, a purge stream must be taken off. The recycle stream
contains 12.5% mole inerts. Calculate the overall conversion
of Nitrogen, the ration n (moles purge gas/ mole of as leaving
the condenser), and the ratio (moles fresh feed/ mole fed to
the reactor)
