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.

Expert Solution

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.
