Transcribed Image Text:

In a process containing a recycle and a purge stream, 100 moles/hr of A are fed into the system. A reactor induces a reaction A > B, which itself leads to a reaction B > C. The yield of B in the reactor is 18%. The stream exiting the reactor enters a separator, in which all B is separated from all A and C. All B then exits the system in a product stream. The stream leaving the separator containing A and C is then split at a ratio of 4 moles recycled for every 1 mole purged. The purge stream contains 20 moles/hr of C. a) Draw and label the flowsheet. b) Determine the flow rate of A in the purge stream, the rate of production of B, and the conversion in the reactor.
