Chapter 4, Problem 4.7P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

Draw a flowchart for the catalytic dehydrogenation of propane from the description of this process that begins section 4.3a. Label all feed, product, and connecting streams between units.

Concept introduction:

When a few process information is given and the calculation is to be done on the basis of the information, then in such conditions, flowchart creation is the best way to deal with. It is formed with the help of boxes and arrows to show the process and outline the process units. The arrow lines can show inputs and outputs which help in better understanding of the process.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

Write clear statements of the overall objective of the process and the functions of each of the process units (the preheater, the reactor, the absorption and stripping towers and the distillation column).
