A stream (label as stream 2) of 1000 mol/h enters a separator/1 liquefier unit.

Question

A stream (label as stream 2) of 1000 mol/h enters a separator/1 liquefier unit. A stream (label as stream 3) of pure liquid species A leaves the unit. A second stream (label as stream 4) consisting of a mixture of species B and C leaves the top of the unit. The stream leaving the top of the unit is split into a purge stream (label as stream 5) containing species B and C and a recycle stream (label as stream 6) containing only species B. The recycle stream mixes with a fresh feed stream (label as stream 1) to the system that contains the following mole fractions: y_A = 0.600, y_B = 0.395, y_c = 0.005. The process has been tuned so that the molar flow rate of the recycle stream is 1/10 that of the molar How rate of the stream entering the separator/l liquefiers unit. (Assume three significant figures for all values.) It is recommended that you: Draw and completely label a process flow diagram Choose a basis of calculation Perform degree-of-freedom analysis on all units and overall process Determine a solution path It is required that you: Solve for all unknowns Determine the ratio of moles of liquefied specics A to total moles fed to the system
