Assume that in an NH3 plant that has just employed you as a Chemical Engineer or Metallurgical Engineer, two compounds used in the production of NH3 are contained in a fresh feed stream that is fed into the process plant in the same proportion as it appears in Equation (1). The fresh feed stream also contains 0.2 volume % Ar. It is given that the single pass conversion of N2 to NH3 is twenty-five percent, and that a portion of Ar is purged after separating the product stream such that the composition of Ar in the recycle stream is kept at seven percent. The production of pure NH3 in the plant after complete condensation is two hundred forty-five kilomoles per hour. Take the production rate of two hundred forty-five kilomoles per hour of NH3 as the basis of your calculations, and determine the following: (i) Molar flow rate of H2 required to produce NH3 in mol/s (ii) Molar flow rate of the recycle stream in mol/s and its composition (iii) Molar flow rate of the purge stream in kmol/hour (iv) The extent of reaction in kmol/s equation 1 is haber process. equation 1 is haber process

Carbon monoxide and hydrogen react catalytically to produce methanol. CO + 2HZ rightarrow CH_3OH The fresh feed (100 moles/min) composition is 30 mole% carbon monoxide, a stoichiometric proportion of hydrogen and 10 mole% inert (nitrogen). A condenser (operates at 0 degree C and 1 atm) separates the unreacted gases and inert from the liquid product methanol. Part of the gas stream is recycled back into the main feed line to the reactor and the rest purged. The recycle ratio is...

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...

Methane (CH4) and oxygen (O2) react to form formaldehyde (CH2O) (reaction #1), with a competing side reaction (#2) in which methane and oxygen form carbon dioxide (CO2): CH4(v) + O2(g) -> CH2O(v) + H2O(l) (reaction #1) CH4(v) + 2O2(g) -> CO2(g) + 2H2O(l) (reaction #2) A fresh feed of an equimolar gas mixture of CH4 and O2 is combined with a recycle stream and fed to a reactor. The single-pass conversion of CH4 is 30% and the selectivity of CH2O...

10. Write a one-page summary of the attached paper? INTRODUCTION Many problems can develop in activated sludge operation that adversely affect effluent quality with origins in the engineering, hydraulic and microbiological components of the process. The real "heart" of the activated sludge system is the development and maintenance of a mixed microbial culture (activated sludge) that treats wastewater and which can be managed. One definition of a wastewater treatment plant operator is a "bug farmer", one who controls the aeration...
