flowsheets: the recycle and the bypass. We noted that these configurations are
readily accommodated by means of a special process unit called the flow splitter.
Finally, we concluded the chapter with examples illustrating the use of basis re-
location and balance set selection which can often reduce a multiunit problem to
a sequence of zero degree-of-freedom single-unit problems. At this stage, you
should be able to formulate and solve most multiunit material balance problems
that do not involve chemical reactions.
PROBLEMS
(a) A feed stream to a dryer is specified as 1000 lb,„/h. What is the rate in
kg/min?
(b) The production rate of ammonia in a process is given as 10° lbmol/day.
What is the equivalent rate in gmol/h?

2.2
A still produces a mixture of 90 mol % ethanol (C,H,OH) and the rest water.
(a) Calculate the mass fraction of ethanol.
(b) If the production rate is 1000 lbmol/h, calculate the equivalent rate in
kg/min.
(c) For the production rate in (b), calculate the molar flows of the stream
components in kgmol/h.
2.3
A stream consisting of:
H,O 0.4
C;H¿OH 0.3
CH,ОН 0.1
CH,СOОH 0.2
all in weight fractions, is fed to a distillation column at the rate of 1000 lb/
h. Convert these stream variables to:
(a) Molar species flows rates.
(b) Total molar flow and mole fractions.
(c) Mole fractions, water-free basis.
A solution containing Na,S, NaOH, and Na,CO, in water is called "white
liquor" and is used in the paper industry to process wood pulp. Suppose
that laboratory analysis indicates 50 g/l Na,S, 250 g/l NaOH, and 100 g/1 !
Na,CO3. If the solution density is 1.05 g/cm³, calculate the species molar
flows corresponding to a total stream flow of 1000 kgmol/h.
2.4
A process for producing methane from synthesis gas and steam is fed 6
kgmol/min of a gas consisting of 50% H2, 33}% CO, and the rest CH, (all
on a mole basis) as well as 72 kg/min of steam (H,0). The products are 3
kgmol/min of liquid water and 96 kg/min of a gas consisting of 25% CH4,
