915 kgmole/hour
Temperature 131.7 ºC
Pressure 1187 psia
Component Composition (mol%)
Carbon Monoxide 15.63
Carbon Dioxide 7.93

TOTAL 100.00

How the proccess flow diagram is attached to this question.
Details of the process:-

Firstly feed is mixed with the recycle stream using a mixer
Output of the mixer is put into the reactor
where the following two reactions occur:-
CO2 + 3H2 <--> CH3OH + H2O
AND
CO + 2H2 <--> CH3OH
Reactor output is cooled to from 246.3 degrees celcius to 37.78 degrees using a cooler(using 4.229e+007 of heatflow)
Then the cooled outlet is then fed into the first separator which separates it into vapour and liquid outlets
Then the liquid outlet is put into another separator resulting ina crude methanol stream(but still contains some impurities) and gas loop flash system
the vapour outlet of first separtour is sent to a purger where 4.8% of all of it is purged/removed
the remaining is sent to a compressor and comprossed from 7888kpa to 8190kpa using 5.955e+005kj/hour
then it is heated from 42 degrees celcius to 130 degrees celcius using 1.115e+007 kj/hour and put into the mixer( this was the recycle)
