Feed mixture containing 5% propane and 95% propylene is used to produce butanal (C4 H8 O)
according to the following reaction:
γ
C3 H6 + CO + H2 −
→ C4 CH8 O

An overall conversion of 0.90 can be achieved. Propane is an inert,and therefore, a purge

stream is installed to avoid the accumulation of propane in the process. The single-pass conversion
of propylene in the reactor is 0.3. The butanal production rate is maintained at a rate of 180
kmol/h. Unreacted hydrogen and carbon dioxide are separated and sent to surge tanks. Calculate
the flow rate of the fresh propane/ propylene stream to the process (kmol/h), the mol% of inert
in the purge stream, and the total flow rate (kmol/h) of the feed to the reactor. (210.5 kmol/h,
34.5 mol% inert, 1240.5 kmol/h)
