 Problem 2 A reactor system having various feeds and products is

Problem 2 A reactor system having various feeds and products is listed in the table below. The capacity to run gas feeds through this reactor is 200,000 lb/stream hour. Ethane uses the equivalent of 1.1 lb of capacity per pound of ethane; propane 0.91b; gas oil 0.91b/lb; and DNG 1 The downstream operation is limited to 50000lb/stream hour (ethylene), and 20000 lb/stream hour for propylene.
