Recycle Ex3

This document presents a material balance for a process with a recycle stream and purge. The feed contains 100 kmol/h of A and 200 kmol/h of B. Stream 1 is fed to a reactor where the reaction A + 2B -> C occurs. The products are then separated and some is recycled back to the mixer while some is purged. The fraction of stream 4 that is purged is 0.077 and the mole fraction of I in the recycle is 0.100252 which satisfies the criterion.
