Question

Q5// Ethanol is manufactured by catalytic hydration of ethylene:- C2H4 + H20 — С2H50Н Mwt. 28 18 46 The molal ratio of water to ethylene in total feed input to the reactor = 3/5. Conversion of ethylene = 5%. Calculate the flow rates of streams F2, P,W and R. Recycle (R) C2H4 94 wt. % Ethanol F1 = 224 Ib/hr 6 wt. % water C2H4 P Mixer Reactor Separator F2 (Water) Water (W) Ans. F1 = 1728 Ib/hr; P= 391.5 Ib/hr; W= 1560.5 Ib/hr and R= 4256 Ib/hr.
