Calculating flow rate of nitrogen
The feed of an ammonia synthesis reactor is 25% (lbmole) nitrogen with the balance hydrogen. The flow rate is 3000 kg/h at 65°C and 95 bar. Calculate the flow rate of nitrogen to the reactor in kg/hr.

So for 3000Kg/Hr feed we convert to lb mole feed rate=(3000/0.45359237)lb/hr =6613.868 lb/hr
So N2: H2 =1:3 in lbe mole in feed
1lbmole N2 =28 lb N21lbmole H2 =2.015 lb H2
So N2:H2 =3*2.016lb: 28Lb=6.048lb:28lb
So Each 34.048 lb feed has 28lb N2
So 1653.467lbmole/hr feed has =388.5026 lb of N2 = 388.5026lb*0.453.59237kg/lb =176.2218 Kg/Hr N2
I) Sulphur dioxide (SO2) with a volumetric flow rate 5000cm3/s at 1 bar and 1000C is mixed with a second SO2 stream flowing at 2500cm3/s at 2 bar and 200C. The process occurs at steady state. You may assume ideal gas behaviour. For SO2 take the heat capacity at constant pressure to be CP/R = 3.267+5
You are asked to make up a laboratory solution of 0.10 molar H2SO4 from concentrated (96%) H2SO4 at 56°F. The barometric pressure reads 750 mmHg. You look up the specific gravity of 96% H2SO4 and find it is listed at 1.858. Calculate: (a) th
A gas contains 350 ppm of H2S in CO2 at 72°F and 1.53 atm pressure. If the gas is liquified, what is the weight fraction H2S?
At atmospheric pressure ethyl acetate and ethyl alcohol form an azeotropic mixture containing 53.9% mole of ethyl acetate and boiling at 71.8°C. a) Estimate the values of A & B in the empirical van Laar equation
Modeling eye movements is commonly performed in the Matlab/Simulink pacakage. Based on the Physiological evidence, oculomotor plants have been designed to simulate various eye movements. Choose two eye movement models, one for saccades and the other for pursuit, and simulate the following amplitudes

how to calculate amount of ammonia adsorbed per kg of adsobent in ammonia calcium chloride adsorption process?
A steady-state flow process is used to heat methanol in a tank. The incoming stream is at 2 bar and 25 oC and has a flow rate of 5 kg/s. The outgoing stream is at 1 bar, 100 oC. Heating is provided by a heating coil immersed in a tank. Given the
A stream of steam at 15 bar and 300 oC is used to produce work using a steam turbine. a. Before the turbine, steam flows in a pipe (4 cm in diameter) at a mass flow rate of 3 g/s. Calculate the mean velocity in the pipe
