3.25 Product P is produced from reactant R according to the reaction 2RP+W Unfortunately, both the reactant and the product D decompose to form byproduct B according to the reactions RB+WP2B+W When a process feed consisting of one part inert I to 11 parts R is used and the recycle rate is adjusted to obtain a reactor feed R mole fraction of 0.85 , a 50% conversion of R in the plant and an 80% yield of P from R for the plant are observed. (a) Construct a degree-of-freedom table for the process shown in Figure P3.25. Is the process correctly specified? (b) Suppose that with a new catalyst, only the first two reactions are observed. How does this affect the degree-of-freedom analysis of part (a) (c) Using the degree-of-freedom table for the conditions appropriate for part (b), deduce a calculation order which can be used to determine all streams. (d) Solve the
