a) Define the following terms;
i)
Overall conversion
ii) Single pass conversion
[2]
b) A chemical reactor system is fed 100kmolh of reactant A, which is then mixed with a recycle stream. In the reactor, 60% of A that enters the reactor is converted to product B. the mixture exiting the reactor goes to the separation unit where all of the product B plus 20% of A is removed, and the rest of A is recycled and mixed with the fresh feed.
i) Draw a flow sheet and define all the process streams
[5]
ii) How many kmolh of reactant A enters into the reactor
[6]
iii) Calculate the overall conversion and single pass conversion
[12]
 a) Define the following terms; i) Overall conversion ii) Single pass
