Solution:
Stream P is splitting into Q & R, hence their composition will be same
Overall mass balance:

P=Q+R
Q + R = 100 (1)
Doing component mass balance:
Ethanol in P = Ethanol in Q + Ethanol in R
P X 0.3 = Q X 0.3 + R X 0.3

P=Q+R (2)
So it is obvious, we cannot use component balance over splitter, so least
parameter required is flow rate of any of 2 exit streams
So, i.e. = 1

Ans: 8 m3
Solution: From the equation,
T = 350 + 25 XA
At XA = 0.8
T = 350 + 25 x 0.8 = 370 K

Ans: (B)
Solution: Thiele modulus is given by,
Intrinsic reaction rate

  Characterstic Length
pore diffusion rate
So, for Large value of Thiele modulus, reaction rate will be high.
Therefore, we will prefer Scenario 2 over Scenario 1, as we don’t required that total pellet is covered by
catalyst.
Ans: 0.25
Solution:
It is obvious, there is delay so, it can be assumed to be PFR & CSTR in series so,
the delay is equal to  P (space time of PFR)
So here delay is 5 min
  P = 5 min
And we know that, for CSTR
e t / m
E (t ) 
m

At t=0 E (0) =

So at t = 5 E (0  5)   0.05   m  20 min

So   0.25

Ans: 10.13 m3 / hr
Solution: -
For equal percentage value
f = f0 × eBx

Solution:
I. Given process can be written as
C6H12 → C 6H 6 + 6 H2
Cyclo-hexane Benzene Hydrogen
II. proposed process can be written as
C6H12 + 12 H2O → 6CO2 + 18H2
Cyclo-hexane Steam Carbon di-oxide Hydrogen
Maximum ratio will be obtained for 100% conversion of cyclohexane
H2 formed in New process 18

So  =6
H2 formed in old process 3
