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...
