Question

A pharmaceutical company creates a compound with a four-stage process:

 

 

 

Some of the resources have partial yields: 15 percent of material is discarded after the Acid step and 40 percent of the material is discarded after the separation step. The capacities of the last three steps are as follows:

  • Acid: 240 kg/hour
  • Reaction: 200 kg/hour
  • Separation: 200 kg/hour

 

(a) What is the yield of the Heat resource?

 

(Round your answer to 2 decimal places; do not convert yields into percentage)

 

(b) What is the yield of the Acid resource?

 

(Round your answer to 2 decimal places; do not convert yields into percentage)

 

(c) What is the yield of the Reaction resource?

 

(Round your answer to 2 decimal places; do not convert yields into percentage)

 

(d) What is the yield of the Separation resource?

 

(Round your answer to 2 decimal places; do not convert yields into percentage)

 

(e) What is the yield of this process?

 

(Round your answer to 4 decimal places; do not convert yields into percentage)

 

(f) What is the yield in good output of the Acid resource?

 

(Round your answer to 4 decimal places; do not convert yields into percentage)

 

(g) What is the yield in good output of the Reaction resource?

 

(Round your answer to 4 decimal places; do not convert yields into percentage)

 

(h) What is the yield in good output of the Separation resource?

 

(Round your answer to 4 decimal places; do not convert yields into percentage)

 

(i) What is the capacity in good output of the Acid resource?

 kg/hr

(Round your answer to 4 decimal places)

 

(j) What is the capacity in good output of the Reaction resource?

 kg/hr

(Round your answer to 4 decimal places)

 

(k) What is the capacity in good output of the Separation resource?

 kg/hr

(Round your answer to 4 decimal places)

 

(l) What is the capacity (kg/hr) required at the Acid resource so that the process can yield an output of 110 kg/hr of final product? 

 kg/hr

(Round your answer to 4 decimal places)

 

(m) What is the capacity (kg/hr) required at the Reaction resource so that the process can yield an output of 110 kg/hr of final product? 

 kg/hr

(Round your answer to 4 decimal places)

 

(n) What is the capacity (kg/hr) required at the Separation resource so that the process can yield an output of 110 kg/hr of final product? 

 kg/hr

(Round your answer to 4 decimal places)

 

(o) What is the minimum capacity (kg/hr) required at the start of the process so that the process can yield an output of 110 kg/hr of final product? 

 kg/hr

(Round your answer to 4 decimal places; do not convert yields into percentage)
