Propylene is converted to butyraldehyde and n-butanol in the following reaction sequence in a catalytic reactor: C3H6+CO+ H?CH/CHO (butyraldehyde) C?H-CHO+ H?CH?OH (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 H?, respectively. 40 NCH CH CH?I n 12.0 mol CH M Mei act?
