    This document presents an example problem for a chemical reaction involving carbon monoxide, hydrogen, and methanol. The problem provides the chemical reaction, process flow diagram, thermodynamic equilibrium constant expression for the reaction, process conditions of 5000 kPa and 500 K, and 5% conversion in the reactor. The task is to determine the moles of each component (nCO, nH2, nCH3OH) and extent of reaction (ξ) by setting up mole balances and using the given process specifications and equilibrium constant expression. Degree of freedom analyses are presented for the overall process and individual units.
