Engineers Julie and Walter operate a reactor where two unbalanced, gas phase reactions occur: CH3COOH+H2→C2H5OH+H2O and C2H5OH→(C2H5)2O+H2O. In the first reaction, acetic acid (CH3COOH) and hydrogen (H2) react to produce ethanol (C2H5OH) and water (H2O); and ethanol decomposes to diethyl ether ((C2H5)2O) and water in the second reaction. A stream of 67.8 mol/s hydrogen and the balance acetic acid at 147oC is fed to the reactor, which operates at steady state. The stream exiting the reactor contains acetic acid, hydrogen, ethanol, water, and diethyl ether at 417oC. The component flow rate of acetic acid exiting the reactor is 3.81 mol/s. The fraction conversion of acetic acid is 71.6%, and the selectivity, which is the ratio of the amount of ethanol to diethyl ether in the exiting stream, is 3.14. Assume all components are in the gas phase and no phase changes occur in the reactor. Find the component molar flow rate of acetic acid(AA) entering the reactor.

Water in a partially filled large tank is to be supplied to the roof top, which is 8 m above the water level in the tank, through a 2.2-cm-internal-diameter pipe by maintaining a constant air pressure of 300 kpa (gage) in the tank. if the head loss in the piping is 2 m of water, determine the discharge rate of the supply of water to the roof top in liters per second.
