In an effort to make cheap NO gas, ammonia gas is reacted with 20 % excess O2 (20 % excess in the feed to the reactor) 4NH3 + 502 → 4NO + 6H2O 70 % of the NH3 which enters the reactor is converted to NO, the rest is unchanged. The reactor products are separated as shown and the NH3 is recycled. How many kilomole NO is produced per hour if the fresh NH3 feed is 100 kmol per hour? (a) How many kilomole NH3 is recycled per hour? (b) How many kilomole O2 is fed to the reactor per hour?

Question
Good day, I am struggling to answer this question. I am not sure how to get the recycle stream, please help me.
Transcribed Image Text:23.1 In an effort to make cheap NO gas, ammonia gas is reacted with 20 % excess O2 (20 %
excess in the feed to the reactor)
4NH3 + 502 → 4NO + 6H2O
70 % of the NH3 which enters the reactor is converted to NO, the rest is unchanged. The
reactor products are separated as shown and the NH3 is recycled. How many kilomole
NO is produced per hour if the fresh NH3 feed is 100 kmol per hour?
(a) How many kilomole NH3 is recycled per hour?
(b) How many kilomole O2 is fed to the reactor per hour?
