1.1 Calculate an overall mass balance.

C2H4 + H2O C2H5OH

A+B C

ṁAO = 10.845 g/s

CSTR
ṁA = 2.1690 g/s
ṁB = 76.368 g/s
ṁC = 6.471 g/s

ṁBO = 80.551 g/s

Mass flowrate total in = Mass flowrate total out

ṁAo + ṁBo + ṁco = ṁA + ṁB + ṁC
10.845 g/s + 80.551 g/s = 2.1690 g/s + 76.368 g/s + 6.471 g/s
91.396 g/s = 85.008 g/s

1.3 Mass Balance table

IN (g/s) OUT(g/s)
C2H4 ṁAO = FAo x MW (C2H4) ṁA = FA x MW(C2H4)
= 0.2354 x 46.07 = 0.04708 x 46.07
= 10.845 = 2.1690

H2O ṁBo = FBo x MW (H2O) ṁB = FB x MW (H2O)

= 4.4726 x 18.01 = 4.24191 x 18.01
= 80.551 = 76.368

C2H5OH - ṁc = Fc x MW (C2H5OH)

= 0.2307 x 28.05
= 6.471

Δṁ = 91.396 Δṁ = 85.008
