24. Methyl alcohol (CH3OH) is obtained from the reaction of CO and hydrogen: CO +2H₂CH₂OH. Fresh feed is composed of stoichiometric mixture of CO and H₂ and 0.1% inert (1). Single pass conversion of CO is 15%. All of the methanol(CH,OH) formed is condensed and obtained as a pure liquid alcohol. A fraction of the recycle gas stream is taken as purge. Purge stream contains 1% inert. For 100 kmol /h of fresh feed, calculate: (a) the flow rates of methanol produced, recycle and purge stream, (b) Overall conversion of CO, (c) The fresh feed and recycle stream required to produce 3000 kg CH₂OH/h.
