SOLUTION;
CO2- Balance;
0.011x + y = 6.5x (0.028)
y = 0.0171x in the recycle stream.
\frac{0.0171x}{5.5x} \times 100 = 3.1 \% of CO2 in purge stream,
100 - 3.1 = 96.9 % H2 in purge stream. Flow rate of purge:
CO2 BALANCE-
0.011x = 0.031p , x = \frac{0.031p}{0.011}
H2...
I am really struggling to get to grips with this question, ( struggling with material balance overall!)
I can do dimple material balance however for things with a recycle stream or purge stream, really confuses me.
I have the solution which I will post up, but I still don't get 'why' it...
