A gas mixture having 75% by mass Ammonia (NH3) and the remainder Argon (Ar) is passed through a Membrane Filter to recover the Ar. There are two streams, (i) recovered stream with 60% by mass Ar and (ii) waste gas. The recovered stream comprises twenty-five percent (25%) of the inlet gas mass. The inlet flow rate is 100 kmol /hr of gas (total flow in). Calculate the composition and mass flow rate of the waste gas.

A spherical object with a radius rrr = 4.2×10−7 mm and mass m is in equilibrium at a distance ddd = 9.1×1012 mm from a star due to the cancellation of gravitational and radiation forces. Let MsMsM = 2.1×1032 kgkg be the mass of the star, and PsPsP = 5.9×1028 WW be the total average power radiated by it uniformly in all directions. You will also need the gravitational constant GGG = 6.7×10−11 Nm2/kg2Nm2/kg2 and the speed of light...
