Question: FRESH FEED: 1 0 , 0 0 0 kmo l h r , phase: 1 0 0 % liquid ( bubble point ) , standard

FRESH FEED: 10,000kmolhr, phase: 100% liquid (bubble point), standard pressure
REACTOR 1: Reactor one takes a feed which is a mixture of three streams: fresh feed,
recycle 1, recycle 2
o-xylene p-xylene [conversion=50%]
m-xylene p-xylene [conversion=66%]
SEP 1: Separator one takes the output of R1 as a feed, and has two output streams. One
output stream is recycled to the reactor.
Split fractions of FEED to RECYCLE 1: These split fractions are based on mole ratios of
how much is input into the separator to how much leaves in the recycle stream -25% of
p-xylene input, 80%m-xylene input, 25% o-xylene input.
SEP 2: Separator two takes the (non-recycle) output of SEP 1 as a feed and has two
output streams. One output stream is recycled to the reactor. The other output stream is
a product stream.
Split fractions of FEED to RECYCLE 2: 5% of p-xylene input, 50% of m-xylene, 5% of o-
xylene
 FRESH FEED: 10,000kmolhr, phase: 100% liquid (bubble point), standard pressure REACTOR
