A methanol synthesis loop with a stoichiometric feed of CO and H2 is to be designed for 95% overall conversion of CO. All the methanol formed leaves in the product stream. Not more than 2% of the CO and 0.5% of the H2 emerging form the reactor is to leave in the product stream- the remainder is recycled.
a. Calculated the single pass conversion of CO.
b. Draw a flow chart.

An engine runs on the ideal diesel cycle. the cycle has a compression ratio of 20 and a cutoff ratio of 2. the highest temperature in the cycle is 1200 k. if the heat into the system is 300 kj/kg of working fluid and using variable specific heats determine the work produced per mass of working fluid

For a gate width of 2 m into the paper, determine the force required to hold the gate abc at its location.

Agas contained within a piston-cylinder assembly e end nation about same energy states, 1 and 2, where pi 10 bar, v undergoes two processes, a and b, between the sam 0.1 m3, ui-400 kj and p2 1 bar, v2 1.0 m2, u2 200 kj: process a: process from 1 to 2 during which the pressure- volume relation is pv constant process b: constant-volume process from state 1 to a pressure of 2 bar, followed by a linear pressure-volume process to +20 0 state 2 kinetic and potential energy effects can be ignored. for each of the processes a and b, (a) sketch the process on p-v coordinates, (b) evaluate the work, in kj, and (c) evaluate process the heat transfer, in kj
