Question

Benzene is converted to cyclohexane by direct reaction with H2. The fresh feed to the process is 260 L / min of benzene and 950 L / min of H2 at 100ºC and 150 kPa. The single pass conversion of H2 in the reactor is 48% while the overall conversion of H2 in the system is 75%. The recycle stream contains 90% H2 and the remainder is benzene. Determine the molar flow of H2, benzene, and cyclohexane at the outlet. Determine the volumetric flow of the product stream if it exits at 100 kPa and 200ºC. The ratio of the volumetric flow of cyclohexane (at the conditions of 100 kPa and 200 ° C.) To the volumetric flow fed is:

a)0.00-9.999%

b)10.0-19.999%

c)20.0-29.999%

d)30.0-39.999%

e)40.0-49.999%

f)50.0-59.999%

g)60.0-69.999%

h)70.0-79.999%

i)80.0-89.999%

j)90.0-99.999%
