Methanol is produced by reacting carbon monoxide and hydrogen. a fresh feed stream containing co and h2 joins a recycle stream and the combined stream is fed to a reactor. the reactor outlet stream flows at a rate of 350 mol/min and contains 10.6 wt% h2, 64.0 wt% co, and 25.4 wt% ch3oh. (notice that those are percentages by mass, not mole percents.) this stream enters a cooler in which most of the methanol is condensed. the liquid methanol condensate is withdrawn as a product, and the gas stream leaving the condenser—which contains co, h2, and 0.40 mole% uncondensed ch3oh vapor—is the recycle stream that combines with the fresh feed. a. draw the process flow diagram. calculate the mole fraction of ch3oh, co, and h2 present in the stream leaving the reactor.
b. calculate the molar flowrate (moles/min) of condensed methanol stream and recycle stream.
c. calculate the molar flowrate (moles/min) of co and h2 present in the fresh feed.
d. what is the single-pass and overall conversion of co?
