Question Completion Status: QUESTION 1 23 points Save Answer 150 L/min benzene (C6H6) and 600 L/min hydrogen (H2) are the fresh feed of a hydrogenation process at 150C and 160 kPa to produce cyclohexane (C6H12) in a continuous flow reactor, according to the following equation: C6H6+3H2-------->C6H12 The overall conversion of hydrogen is 75% and the single pass conversion in the reactor is 48%. The outlet of the reactor is separated and a gas stream that consists of 90 mol% benzene and the rest hydrogen is recycled to the reactor. If the product stream exits at 100 kPa and 200C, Calculate: a. the molar flow rates of each component in the fresh feed in (mol/min), assuming ideal gas behavior. [6] b. the molar flow rates of each component in the product stream in (mol/min). [14] C. the volumetric flow rate of the product stream in (L/min) [3] (Note: use atomic balance) Reactor H2: V L/min.
