A synthesis gas stream consisting of 65.30% H2, 34.30% CO, and 0.400% CH4 (by mole) is fed into the process described below at a rate of 100 mol/hour. The effluent stream from the reactor is fed into a separator where the methanol is completely removed, and the unconverted reactants are recycled to the reactor. To avoid the buildup of methane, a portion of the recycled stream is purged. At present operating conditions, the CO conversion over the entire process is 89.50%, and the methane mole fraction at the reactor inlet (Stream 2) is 2.870%.
CO + 2H2 --------->. CH3OH
What is the production rate of methanol?
What is the flow rate of the purge stream?
What is the mol fraction of each component in the purge stream?
What is the ratio of recycle flow to purge flow?

Methanol is produced by reacting CO and H2. A fresh feed stream containing CO and H2joins a recycle stream, and the combined stream is fed to a reactor. A portion of the methanol leaving the reactor is condensed, and the unconsumed CO and H2and uncondensed methanol are recycled. The stream going from the reactor to the condenser flows at a rate of 275 mol/min and contains 63.1 mole% H2, 27.4 mole% CO and 9.53 mole% CH3OH. The mole fraction of...

Methanol is synthesized from carbon monoxide and hydrogen (H2) in a catalytic reactor. CO + 2H2 → CH3OH The fresh feed to the process contains 32.0% mol of CO, 64% of H2 and 4% N2. This stream is mixed with a recirculation stream at a ratio of 5 mol recirculation / 1 mol fresh feed to the process. The mixture of these streams forms the feed stream to the reactor, which contains 13.0 mol% of N2. Low conversion is achieved...
