Question
A reaction and separator, are configured as shown in the diagram, to produce pure streams of component B and C from A. The plant conversion of A is 86%, while the reactor conversion is 28%. The fresh feed, stream 1, is composed of 88 mol% component A and
the balance an inert substance, I. Other information is shown in the diagram:

Taking 100 mol/s of fresh feed as a basis, determine the following:
a) n_4 the product C in mol/s
b) n_8 the product B, in mol/s
c) n_7 the purge in mol/s
d) y_A_7 the concentration of A in the purge in mol%
e) n_A_2, the mols/s of A in the reactor feed
f) n_A_6, the mol/s of A in the recycle
g) n_6, the flow of the recycle in mol/s
h) n_2, the reactor feed in mol/s
i) y_A_2, concentration of A in the reactor feed, in mol%
j) n_3 the reactor effluent in mol/s
