The Fresh Feed To An Ammonia Production Process Contains 33 1 Mole Nitrogen 66 3 Mole Hydrogen And The Balance Inert 1 (15.94 KiB) Viewed 7 times

The fresh feed to an ammonia production process contains 33.1 %mole nitrogen, 66.3 %mole hydrogen, and the balance inerts (I). The feed is combined with a recycle stream containing the same species, and the combined stream is fed to a reactor in which a 30% single-pass conversion of nitrogen is achieved. The products pass through a condenser in which essentially all of the ammonia is removed, and the remaining gases are recycled. However, to prevent buildup of the inerts in the system, a purge stream must be taken off. The recycle stream contains 14.2 %mole inerts. Calculate the overall conversion of nitrogen, the ratio (moles purge gas/mole of gas leaving the condenser), and the ratio (moles fresh feed/mole fed to the reactor). (40 pts)
