Question: Methanol ( CH 3 OH ) is thermally decomposed in a reactor into formaldehyde ( HCHO ) and hydrogen ( H 2 ) and the

Methanol (CH3OH) is thermally decomposed in a reactor into formaldehyde (HCHO) and hydrogen (H2) and the unreacted CH3OH is recycled as shown in the figure below.1.The flow rates of the different components are as shown in the diagram. Using the concept of overall balance in a system, calculate the molar flow rate of the fresh feed (CH3OH)?2.The flow rates of the different components are as shown in the diagram. If the single pass conversion of CH3OH to HCHO is 60%, calculate the amount of CH3OH that pass through the reactor unreacted (n3)?
