In the Haber Process for manufacturing ammonia (N₂ +3H ≥2NH3(g))' the nitrogen in the 2(g) 2(g) feed is obtained from air. As such, it contains traces of argon, an inert gas. To prevent the accumulation of argon in the system, a purge stream is provided. The fresh feed gas is composed of 75.16% H2 and 0.2% Ar, with the balance being N2, and is mixed with the recycle gas from the separator before entering the reactor. The mixed feed contains 76.73% H2. The purge stream contains 78.94% H2 and no ammonia. The product ammonia exits the separator as a liquid and contains no dissolved gases. All compositions are in mol%. For a fresh feed flow rate of 872 mol/h, determine the single-pass conversion of N2.
