Chapter 9, Problem 9.63P
Methanol vapor is burned with excess air in a catalytic combustion chamber. Liquid methanol initially at 25°C is vaporized at 1.1 atm and heated to 100°C; the vapor is mixed with air that has been preheated to 100°C, and the combined stream is fed to the reactor at 100°C and 1 atm. The reactor effluent emerges at 300°C and 1 atm. Analysis of the product gas yields a dry-basis composition of 4.8% CO2, 14.3% O2, and 80.9% N2.
- Calculate the percentage excess air supplied and the dew point of the product gas.

Feed gas containing of 78.5mol % H₂, 21% of N₂ & 0.5% of Ar is mixed with recycle gas and
enters a reactor where 15% N₂ is converted to NH3 as per the reaction. Ammonia from the exit of
the reactor is completely separated from unconverted gases. To avoid the buildup of inerts, a small
fraction (5%) of the unreacted gases purged and the balance recycled.

2. In an ethanol production plant, a separator produces a 99% ethanol product from a feedstock
stream containing 85% water and 15% ethanol at a rate of 450 Ib/min. The separator has two
outlet streams: the ethanol product outlet stream (99% ethanol) and a residual water stream.
30% of the feedstock is bypassed and mixed with the residual water stream leaving the separator.
If 60% of the ethanol entering the separator is recovered in the product stream, determine the
composition of the residual water stream just after leaving the separator and the composition of the
residual stream after mixing with the bypass stream.
In a chemical production plant, cyclohexane is made by the reaction of benzene and hydrogen. Reaction is as follows:
CHs + H2 → CoH12
The complete process of producing cyclohexane uses a reactor and a separator. Using the process shown below
and assuming 20 % excess hydrogen in the fresh feed, find the ratio of the recycle stream to the fresh feed
stream, the composition of the final product stream, and the composition of the stream leaving the reactor. The
overall conversion of benzene is 92% and the single-pass conversion is 21.5 %. The recycle stream is composed
of 23.9 % benzene and the remaining hydrogen.

- A hydrocarbon stream composed of 40 mol% n-butane and 60 mol% n-octane is fed at 100 kmol/h to a flash vessel operating at 5 bar and 145°C. The liquid outlet stream of the flash vessel is then sent to a distillation column with a partial condenser to further separate the components. 90% of the butane in the feed to the column is recovered in the overhead vapor product (distillate), along with small amounts of octane. The bottoms product contains octane which accounts for 75% of the octane in the fresh hydrocarbon feed (to the flash vessel).

- 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 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.
