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 mole/min and contains 10.6 wt% H2 , 64 wt% CO and 25.4 wt% CH3OH. 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 The liquid methanol condensate is withdrawn as a product, and the gas stream leaving the condenser – which contains CO, H2 and 0.4 mole % uncondensed CH3OH vapor – is the recycle stream that combines with the fresh feed. Determine:
a) the molar flow rates of CO and H2 in the fresh feed
b) the production rate of liquid methanol (mol/min) and
c) the molar flow rate of the recycle stream.
(Draw and completely label the process flow diagram and determine all molar flow rate)

The synthesis of methanol from carbon monoxide and hydrogen is
carried out in a continuous vapor phase reactor at 5.00 atm
absolute. The feed contains CO and H2 in stoichiometric
proportion and enters the reactor at 25 oC and 5 atm at
a rate of 17.1 m3/h. The product stream emerges from the
reactor at 127 oC. The rate of heat transfer from the
reactor is 17.05 kW. Calculate the fractional conversion achieved
and the volumetric flow rate (m3/h) of...

A mass of 7.75 g carbon monoxide is reacted with 8.04 g hydrogen
to form methanol. CO(g) + 2 H2(g) → CH3OH(g) The reaction is
performed in a 5.00 L flask at 85.0 °C and proceeds to completion.

following completion of the reaction? What is the total pressure in
the flask? CO =? mmHg H2 =? mmHg CH3OH =? mmHg Total =? mmHg

Methanol (CH3OH) is produced via the partial oxidization of
methane (CH4). The fresh feed contains methane and oxygen that have
been mixed in stoichiometric proportions. This feed is mixed with
recycle gases. The single-pass conversion of methane is 10.0%. The
stream leaving the reactor is passed into a separation process
where the entire methanol, and none of the other materials, is
removed. All of the remaining materials are recycled to be mixed
with the fresh feed. Determine the feed rate...

A hydrogen-rich gas stream contains 1.0 mole % carbon monoxide.
It is desired to use a microporous ceramic membrane for separating
carbon monoxide (CO) from hydrogen gas at a pressure of 1 atm and a
