Extracted text: 1. Methanol is synthesized from carbon monoxide and hydrogen in a catalytic reactor. The fresh feed (100 moles per hour) to the process contains 32.0% CO, 64.0% H2, and 4.0% N2. This stream is mixed with a recycle stream in a ratio of 3 mole recycle per 1 mole of fresh feed to produce the feed to reactor, which contains 13.0 mole% N2. A low single-pass conversion is attained in the reactor. The reactor effluent goes to a condenser from which two streams emerge: a liquid product stream containing essentially all the methanol formed in the reactor, and a gas stream containing all the CO, H2, and N2 leaving the reactor. The gas stream is split into two fractions: one is removed from the process as a purge stream, and the other is the recycle stream that combines with the fresh feed to the reactor. Draw the correct process flowchart described above. Label all streams with all the given compositions and flowrates. State your assumptions and basis. b. For the given fresh feed flowrate, determine the following: i. (1 =) Rate of methanol production Molar flowrate of purge gas ii. iii. ( ) Composition of the purge gas iv. ( The overall conversion v.
