Chapter 4, Problem 4.8P
Interpretation Introduction
(a)
Interpretation:
It should be determined that how many independent material balance may be written for this system.
Concept introduction:
The independent material balance is when the stoichiometric equation of anyone of them can not be obtained by adding or subtracting multiples of the stoichiometric equation of the others.
The material balances are non independent; if two molecular species are in same ratio to each other wherever they appear and if two atomic species are in same ratio to each other wherever they occur.
Interpretation Introduction
(b)
Interpretation:
How many of unknown flow rates and mole fractions must be specified before the other may be calculated?
Concept introduction:
In order to understand different variables and components of a system, the analysis of degree of freedom can work better. If the degree of freedom is zero then the problem is specified.
The degree of freedom is explained as:
Where, m is total number of independent stream variables, n is number of independent balances, p is total number of specified terms and s is total number of subsidiary relation.

Methanol (CH3OH) is produced in the reaction of carbon dioxide and hydrogen via the reaction and process given below:
CO2+3H2→CH3OH+H2O
The fresh feed to the process contains hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and 0.400 mol% inerts (I). The reactor effluent passes through a condenser that removes essentially all of the methanol and water formed and none of the reactants or inerts. The unreacted reactants and inerts are recycled to the reactor. To avoid buildup of the inerts in the system, a purge stream is withdrawn from the recycle. 100 mol/h of feed to the reactor (not the fresh feed to the process) contains 29.5 mol% CO2, 68.0 mol% H2, and 2.50 mol% inerts. The single-pass conversion of hydrogen is 46.71%. What is the recycle-to-fresh feed ratio?
For a given reaction
C2H6 + Cl2 → C2H5Cl + HCl
Assume that the percentage conversion of the limiting reactant is 60% and the feed composition in
mole percent is 50% C2H6, 40% Cl2 and 10% N2.
(a) What is the mole percent of HCl in the product?
(b) What is the mole percent of N2 in the product?
Methane is burned with air in a continuous combustion reactor that is at steady state.The feed to the reactor contains 7.80 mole % CH4, 19.4 mole % O2, and 72.8 mole % N4. The percentage conversion of methane is 90.0%, and the gas leaving the reactor contains 8 mol CO2/mol CO. Carry out a degree of freedom analysis of the process, and calculate the molar composition of the product stream.

- A steady-state process to recover crystalline potassium chromate (K,CrOz) from an aqueous solution of this salt is required. Four thousand kilograms per hour of a solution that is one-third K,CrO, by mass is joined by a recycle stream containing 36.4% K2CrO7, and the combined stream is fed into an evaporator. The concentrated stream leaving the evaporator contains 49.4% K,CrO; this stream is fed into a crystallizer in which it is cooled (causing crystals of K,CrO, to come out of solution) and then filtered. The filter cake consists of K,CrO, crystals and a solution that contains 36.4% K,CrO, by mass; the crystals account for 95% of the total mass of the filter cake.

A stream of banana (whose components are fruit, peel, and moisture) is fed to a peeler, where 99.9% of the peel is removed. This stream should become pulp, so it is mixed with an additive Q to avoid pulp oxidation. This mixture is then sent to an extruder press wherein a stream of a 50:50 mixture of additives Q and R is added. The resulting flow of 30 kg/h has a composition of 2% additive R and 5% additive Q. This flow is then fed to an agitated mixer. To the same mixer is fed a dairy stream of 250 kg/h that contains 70% milk (the rest is water) and a sweet aqueous stream that contains 30% sugar. For each 25 kg/h of dairy flow, 2 kg/h of the sweet flow is fed. The stream that leaves the agitated mixer has 5% fruit and 0.005% peel and enters a series of two thermal processes in which each operation allows 5% of the water and 2% of the milk to evaporate.
