PLEASE DRAW A CONSISTENT FLOWCHART WITH ALL THE COMPONENTS. INCLUDE BOXES, INPUT AND OUTPUT, AND FLOW RATES. $4$ Chemicals $F$ and $G$ react to form a valuable product $P.$ The reaction

$F+GP$

converts $90\%$ of the reactants, shown below.

$F$ and $G$ react to form $P$ in a solution of $F$ and $G$ or in a mixture of $F$ and $G.$ Pure $G$ is cheap. $F$ is available only in a dilute aqueous solution. $F$ is extracted from fish scales, a by$-$product of the halibut industry. Consequently a dilute solution of $F$ is cheap on a

basis of $\frac{\text{\$}}{kgF},$ but it contains a reactive impurity, I. The chemical I does not react with $F$ but reacts with $G$ to form a less valuable by$-$product, $B.$ The reaction

$I+GB$

Chemicals I and $G$ react to form $B$ in a solution of I and $G$ or in a mixture of I and $G.$ Chemical $G$ reacts preferentially but not exclusively with I over $F.$ I reacts only with $G$;I does not react with $F,P,B,$ or water. Likewise, $F$ reacts only with $G$;$F$ does not react with $P,$I,$B,$ or water.

Design a process to produce $P$ from two inputs: $(1)$ a stream containing $H_{2}O(1000mo\frac{l}{m}in),F(1mo\frac{l}{m}in),$ and $I(2mo\frac{l}{m}in)$; and $(2)$ a stream of pure $G($unlimited flow rate$).$ In addition to listing the substances in every stream, estimate the flow rates of reactants in the stream entering the reactor. One significant figure is sufficient.

Design Goals $($in decreasing importance$)$

Minimize the number of units in your process.

Maximize the yield of product $P$ and any other marketable by$-$product.

Employ easy separations.
