6.52 Single pass and overall conversion: The diagram below shows a chemical process in which component A reacts to become B in the reactor, with reaction stoichiometry of A → 2B, followed by partial separation of A & B in a distillation tower, and recycle of stream 4 (high in unreacted A) back to stream 1. For the values given in the process stream table below, determine what is the single pass conversion and the overall conversion based upon component A.

- Single pass and overall conversion: The diagram below shows a chemical process in which component A reacts to become B in the reactor, with reaction stoichiometry of A → 2B, followed by partial separation of A & B in a distillation tower, and recycle of stream 4 (high in unreacted A) back to stream 1. For the values given in the process stream table below, determine what is the single pass conversion and the overall conversion based upon component A.
