Consider the process shown below where a feed of pure A enters a reactor where the reaction A-B occurs. The separator after the reactor is not working properly. The final circuit product is only 95 mol. 9% B with 5 mol.9% A, and the recycle stream contains 5 mol.% B and 95 mol.% A. Recycle (R) x4.R = 0.95, xB.R = 0.05 Feed (F) Reactor Product (P) XAF = 1 Separator A→ B X4P = 0.05 XB.F = 0 XB.P = 0.95 If the single pass conversion in the reactor is Cs = 17 %, then determine the required recycle rate, expressed as moles recycled (Stream R) per mole of feed (Stream F). Enter your answer rounded off to two decimal places.
