Question
Benzene (C6H6) is converted to cyclohexane (C6H12) by direct reaction with H2. The fresh feed to the process is 260 L/min of C6H6 plus 950 L/min of H2 at 100°C and 150 kPa. The single pass conversion of H2 in the reactor is 48% while the overall conversion of H2 in the process is 75%. The recycle stream contains 90% H2 and the remainder benzene (no cyclohexane). See Figure below.

(a) Determine molar flow rates of H2, C6H6 and C6H12 in the exiting product.
(b) Determine the volumetric flow rates of the components in the product stream if it exits at 100 kPa and 200°C.
(c) Determine the molar flow rate of the recycle stream, and the volumetric flow rate if the recycle stream is at 100°C and 100 kPa.
Summary
The question belongs to Chemical Engineering and it discusses about calculation of molar flow rates of gases before and after reaction and volumetric flow rates of the components at high temperature.

1. My main concern was the relevant research and reference work that is required in my Masters course in the university. They are very particular about referenced and researched assignments and with the stats experts at TheReliableTutor.com I have never have had to worry about that since the experts provide the most excellent and relevant references in all my assignments which help me get top marks in the class.
I always found that circuit design assignments are very mind boggling and for that reason I often got low scores in the past. However, one senior of mine suggested that I take help from HwA as he got much benefit from them. I was a bit sceptical to be honest, at the beginning but eventually when I trusted them with one assignment, the feedback was brilliant. My grades spiked up and since then I take their help on a regular basis.
I wanted to do a dissertation on consumer behaviour but was confused on how to identify a topic and write a report. The dissertation advisors here at TheReliableTutor had an online live session with me and after understanding my requirements they came up with three suggested Research Proposal Writing topics
I work in a consultancy firm from where I planned to do my MBA in correspondence from a reputed University of New Zealand. Since I chose marketing as my main stream, I got plenty of help on all my assignments from the experts from New Zealand, through HwA.
I totally loved getting helped from a Melbourne based tutor via HwA as I believe someone from UK or the States could have understood the specifications required for my assignment. It is a marvellous website and I encourage all my fellow students from Melbourne to avail help from HwA as and when they need.

this is a very good website
I have 50 questions for the same test your page is showing only 28

hi can anyone help or guide me to my assignments. thanks
This solution is perfect ...thanks
Hello Allison,I love the 2nd image that you did! I also, had never heard of SumoPaint, is something that I will have to exolpre a bit! I understand completely the 52 (or so) youtube videos that you probably watched. Sometimes they have what you want, sometimes they don't! However, it is always satisfying when you are able to produce something that you have taught yourself. Great job!Debra 0 likes
