Question:
Cyclohexane (C6H12) is produced by mixing Benzene and hydrogen. A process including a reactor, separator, and recycle stream is used to produce Cyclohexane. The fresh feed contains 260L/min C6H6 with 950 L/min of H2 at 100 °C and 150 kPa. The single pass conversion of H2in the reactor is 48% while the overall conversion of H2 in the whole process is 75%. The recycle stream contains 90 mol% H2 and the remainder benzene.
- Draw the diagram and evaluate the degree of freedom for this problem
- Determine the molar flow rates of H2, C6H6, and C6H12in the exiting product.
- Determine the volumetric flow rates of the product stream if it exits at 100 kPa and 200 °C
- Determine the molar flow rate of the recycle stream, and the volumetric flow rate if the recycle stream is at 100 °C and 100 kPa.
