Calculate the Flow Rates of Oil Refinery Processes
Question
You are working in an oil refinery and to meet air quality standards you must remove trace sulfur compounds that come along with the crude oil. These H2S and SO2. A process has been suggested to convert these compounds into elemental sulfur and water using the following reaction:
2H2S(g) + SO2(g) → 3S(s) + 2H2O(g)
A drawing of the process is given below. You have two input streams F1 and F2 which are combined together and this new stream, F0 is connected to the recycle stream R. The two feed streams are fed at a stoichiometric ratio as shown above but contain a fair amount of CO2 as is shown. The solid sulfur is completely removed and the condenser completely removes the water. The gas stream leaving the condenser is split into a purge stream and recycle stream.
a. The flow in F1 is 100.00 lb-moles/sec.
b. The overall process conversion of H2S is 95% (actually removed).
c. The recycle to feed ratio is R/F0 = 15.0
What are the flow rates of R, S and W?
Summary
The question belongs to Chemical Engineering and it is about an oil refinery where trace sulfur compounds such as H2S and SO2 have to be removed from crude oil. The question deals with the flow rates for the processes R, S and W.

WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY
During my second trimester one of my class-mates told me about TheReliableTutor.com. However, back then I thought I do not require any help. But I was proved wrong shortly and contacted them. The nursing assignment tutors are really fantastic and they work tirelessly till you get what you exactly asked for. Really happy with the service I got

Biochemistry was difficult to me right from the day I started to attend classes. I had problems in understanding the concepts. Then I found TheReliableTutor.com and my perspective towards the subject has completely changed. Learning became more interesting than before. Thanks to thereliabletutor.com

Writing Algorithm is not an easy job! Especially for a third semester student! I was really lost and was not sure about what exactly to do. I was seriously thinking of quitting the course and returning home when I came across TheReliableTutor.com. Since then it is a wonderful experience. Not only that I know the difference between a Java code and MSQL one but also I got good grades and things are looking very positive."

1. Having a background of engineering I was pretty confident that I will have no problems with the assignments and homework that will be required to be submitted in my masters program. However there was increasing pressure of assignment submissions. I was spending too much time and effort on writing the assignments and not really gaining any knowledge. The online mechanical engineering tutors at TheReliableTutor.com helped minimize my research time and allowed me to actually gain knowledge from my course.

this is a very good website
I have 50 questions for the same test your page is showing only 28
hi can you please help or guide me to answer my assignments. 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
