In the process of methanol production, a gas stream flowing at a molar flow rate of 100 mol / min containing 32 mol% CO, 64 mol% Hz. and 4 mol% of N2 is led to the reactor. The product from the reactor is condensed where liquid methanol is separated. Unreacted gases are recycled in a ratio of 5: 1 mol of recycle to moles of fresh feed. Parts of the recycled gases are purged. The reaction equation is CO + 2H2 - CH2OH. A- Calculate purge, recycle, and product flow rates and compositions. B - Check the reactor material balance.

There was a missing data in the question for which I skipped it several times under more information needed.In one of the question I got this data was that Feed to the reactor contains 13mol% N2.So i solved the whole problem on this basis otherwise it could not have been solved.

Saturated steam at 300°C is used to heat a counter-current
flowing stream of methanol vapor from 65°C to 240°C in an adiabatic
(no heat exchange with surroundings) heat exchanger. The flow rate
of methanol is 400 kg/minute, and the steam condenses and leaves
the heat exchanger as liquid water at 90°C.
Calculate the required rate of heat transfer from the water to
the methanol in kW. Then, calculate the required flow rate of
entering steam in m3/min.

A stream of water vapor flowing at a rate of 452 mol/h is
brought from 700.0 °C and 10 bar to 400.0 °C and 1 atm. Using Steam
Tables, Estimate the required cooling rate (in kW). Use five
significant figures in your calculations.

A stream of air (21mole% O2, the rest N2) flowing at a rate of
30 kg/h is mixed with a stream of CO2. The CO2 enters the mixer at
a rate of 23.6 m3/h at 200 oC and 1.5 bar. What is the mole % of
CO2 in the product gas? a) Calculate the number of kg. moles of air
flowing b) Calculate the number of kg. moles of CO2 c) Calculate
the mole percent of CO2 in the mixture?

A stream of pure cyclopentane vapor flowing at a rate of 1550
L/s at 150 ºC and 1 atm of pressure enters a cooler, which is
operating at 1 atm. The cooler functions as a flash
separator (one liquid outlet stream, one vapor outlet stream) with
75% of the feed being condensed and exiting the cooler at 1
atm. The liquid stream exiting the cooler is in
equilibrium with the exiting vapor. Use a molar flow and
enthalpy summary table to help organize...

A gas stream of flow rate 10.0 lbmole/ft2 h
contains
6.0% sulfur dioxide (SO2) by volume in air. It is desired to
reduce the SO2 level in the treated gas to no greater than 0.5% in
a countercurrent packed tower operating at 30°C and 1.0 atm total
system pressure, using water containing no dissolved SO2 as the
absorption solvent. The desired solvent flow rate is 2.0 times the
minimum solvent flow rate. At these flow conditions, the film
mass-transfer coefficients...

A process stream flowing at 35 kmol/h contains 15 mole% H2 and
the remainder 1-butene. The stream pressure is 10.0 atm absolute,
the temperature is 50 oC and the velocity is 150 m/min. Determine
the diameter (cm) of the pipe transporting this stream, using Kay’s
rule in your calculations.
