C,H. -
C,H. + H2
The process is to be designed for a 95% overall conversion of propane. The reaction products are
separated into two streams: the first, which contains H2, C,H, and 0.555% of C,Ha that leaves the
reactor, is taken off as product; the second, which contains the balance of the unreacted propane
and 5% of the propylene in the first stream, is recycled to the reactor.
Calculate (a) the composition of the product, (b) the ratio: (moles recycled)/(moles fresh feed), and
(c) the "single-pass" conversion.
