Methanol is made by the reaction CO and H2 according to the reaction CO + H2 ( CH3OH.

The gas
mixture entering the reactor is contaminated by small amounts of methane. The composition of the gas
mixture is as follows: CO = 32.5%; H2 = 67.3%; and CH4 = 0.2%. The single pass conversion of CO in the
reactor is only 18%. The exit stream from the reactor is sent to a separator in which methanol is
separated and removed. The unconverted gases are recycled and mixed with the fresh feed before
being admitted to the reactor. It is desired that the methane content in the recycle stream is not more
than 3%. This is achieved by bleeding off a portion of the recycle stream at the exit of the separator.
Calculate per 100 moles of fresh feed the moles of recycle stream.

A fuel containing 75% ethane and 25% propane is burned with dry air. All the hydrogen gas burns to
water and the carbon dioxide to carbon monoxide ratio is 10:1. Fifteen percent excess air is supplied.
Calculate the complete analysis of the stack gas.

A furnace is fired with fuel oil with partial analysis of 7.6% S and 2.8% N. Orsat analysis of the stack gas
shows 9.44% carbon dioxide, 1.19% carbon monoxide, 0.4% sulfur dioxide, 0.47% hydrogen gas, 6.8%
oxygen gas, and 81.7% nitrogen gas. Air is supplied at 23 degrees Celsius, 755 mmHg and 85% relative
humidity. Calculate the cubic meter of air per kg of fuel.

A furnace burns coal analyzing 78.35% C, 27% VCM, 1.3% N, 7.1% ash and 0.95% S. Analysis of the refuse
shows 6% VCM, 32% FC and 62% ash. Air is supplied at 30˚C, 735 torrs with 90% RH. The stack gases at
250˚C and 745 torrs has a partial Orsat analysis of 9.79% CO2 and 1.47% CO. Assuming that 5.19% of the
C fired is lost in the refuse, calculate the m3 of stack gas per kg coal on a basis of 100 kg coal.
