Question
Consider the process shown below where a feed of pure A enters a reactor where the reaction A B occurs. The product stream is then perfectly separated to give a pure B final product, and the unreacted pure A is recycled back
to enter the reactor again.
Recycle (R) x4.R=1.0, xBR = 0
Feed (F)
Reactor
Product (P)
XA.F=1
*B,F =0
Separator
*AP =0
*B.P = 1
