Propylene is converted to butyraldehyde and n-butanol in the following reaction sequence in a catalytic reactor: C3H6+CO+ H₂CH/CHO (butyraldehyde) C₁H-CHO+ H₂CH₂OH (n-butanol) Products are fed to a catalytic reactor. The reactor effluent goes to a flash tank and catalyst recycled to the reactor. The reaction products are separated, the product stream is subjected to additional hydrogenation (use only reaction 2) with excess hydrogen, converting all of the butyraldehyde to butanol. The conversion of 1" reaction is given as 40% by mole C)Hs. The 2nd reaction conversion is given as 45% by mole C,H-CHO. Calculate the unkown flow rates in the given process for the given constraints. nis must be equal to 12 mol C,He and n17 and nis must be 4 mol CO and 3 mol H₂, respectively. 40 NCH CH CHƠI n 12.0 mol CH M Mei act₂ Aut mol C.H. mol CO Reactor Flash IN: My nu Separation 4.0 mol CO 1.0 mol H₂ (2 Reaction) Tank nu! mol H₂ P mol C₂H,CHO P₂² ny Pa mal C,H,OH P: nyt mol C,H,CHO mol CHLOH n₂ mol H₂ Hydrogenerator (One Reaction) mol CO mol H₂ mol C The mol CO mol H₂ mol CH CHO mol C,H,OH mol cat mol cat n mol H₂ mal CCOH
