Toluene is produced from n-heptane by dehydrogenation over a Cr203 catalyst: CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH3 C6H5CH3 + 4H2 The toluene production process is started by heating n-heptane from 65 to 800°F in a heater. It is fed to a catalytic reactor, which operates isothermally and converts 15 mol% of the n-heptane to toluene. Its effluent is cooled to 65°F and fed to a separator (flash). a) Draw a simplified flow diagram illustrating the problem and label all [5 marks] b) Which type of the system (Deterministic or stochastic and static or [3 marks] [5 marks] [4 marks] e) If you are going to use simulator to solve the problem which data you streams with its components dynamies c) Write the mathematic model of the main units d) Write design parameters of each unit need to feed to the simulator [3 marks] Đ Assuming that all of the units operated at atmospheric pressure, determine the species flow rates in every stream.
