  1. The water-gas shift reaction (CO + H­2O à CO2 + H­2) occurs in a series of two reactors. An equimolar mixture of steam and CO (stream 1) enters the first reactor. The product stream from the first reactor (stream 3) and an additional stream (stream 3) containing pure steam enter the second reactor. The fractional conversion of CO in the first reactor is 0.610, and the fractional conversion of CO in the second reactor is 0.790. The product stream has a water (steam) mole fraction of 0.210.

  1. Draw and fully label a PFD for the process.
  2. What is the fractional conversion of CO for the overall process?
  3. What is the ratio of the molar flow rate of stream 2 relative to the molar flow rate of stream 1?
  4. Put a box around the answers to the questions in b. and c. You will receive 5 points for answering with the correct number of significant digits.

I think you have mentioned both stream which are inputs to reactor 2 as stream 2. I have taken pure steam stream as n2 and stream leaving reactor 1 as n3
