NOTE: For clarification purposes, in problem 2, CH4 concentration in the feed stream is 5%.PLEASE ANSWER CORRECT ALL THE QUESTIONS 2 (A AND B)
2, A catalytic reactor converts carbon monoxide into methanol with a 70% conversion efficiency from a defined feed composition (33% CO, 62% H2 and 0.5% CHs) that enters the reactor at a flow rate of 1000 kmolh. A flash separator is then used to split the products into two streams with different compositions. The stoichiometry of the reaction is as follows: 2H2 + CO CHOH a) Draw the block flow diagram and prepare a Professional looking spreadsheet. 15 points) b) Assuming steady state, calculate themass balances presented in a table using the following additional relations: No available data for one of the streams after the flash separator. The relationship between the components of the other stream after the flash separator and the reactor products are 5% CO, 2% H, 98% methanol and 4% methane. NOTE: Methane is not reacting in this system
Explanation / Answer
The stoichiometry of the given reaction is expressed as
2H2+CO------>CH3OH
Now there are two process units. One is the reactor, the other being the flash separator
