Please do The hydrogen production achieves high conversion using the following reaction:Please do

The hydrogen production achieves high conversion using the following reaction: CH3OH + H2O + CO2 + 3 H2 The endothermic reaction occurs at 350 OC with superheated steam at 10 bars. Hydrogen is produced with purity of 99% percent purity after separation from carbon dioxide. The conversion in the reactor is 85%. Water produced in the process is sent to the wastewater treatment plant and unused methanol is recycled back to the reactor. 10% excess steam is used to ensure enough supply of heat and to shift the reaction to high conversion a. Draw and explain the feed preparation stage of the process and provide temperature and pressure of the process streams b. Draw and explain the separation sequence and indicate the temperature and pressure of process streams C. Estimate the amount of Hydrogen produced for a feed of 500 kgmole/min of methanol d. Estimate the overall process conversion
