. Draw and label an input-output structure for the process. Explain your reasoning for the selected structure. :Input: Benzene Propylene (95%) Propane (5%) Output: Cumene p-DIBP (sold as fuel)

. Draw and label an input-output structure for the process. Explain your

A conceptual design for a cumene production process (250 ton/day of cumene) is to be performed. Cumene is produced from benzene and propylene by the following reaction: C6H6+C3H6C9H12 An undesired reaction of cumene and propylene to form p-diisopropylbenzene ( p-DIPB) also occurs: C9H12+C3H6C12H18 Both reactions are irreversible. The following table summarises the Input Information for the process
