100 mol/hr of butane (C4H10) enter a reactor and is burned with 25% excess pure oxygen, producing CO2, CO, and H2O. The product gases (including C4H10 and O2) enter a separator where 90% of the unreacted C4H10 and O2 are recycled and mixed with a fresh feed of C4H10 and O2 to form the stream (previously described) that was fed to the reactor.

The rest of the product gases exit the separator as a waste stream. If the single-pass conversion of butane is 45% and there is nine times as much CO2 as CO in the product gas leaving the reactor. Complete the following
a. Sketch a properly labeled Block Flow Diagram of the Process.
b. Determine the amount of oxygen fed into the reactor
c. Determine the total flowrate of CO2, CO, H2O, and C4H10 exiting the reactor.
