A petrochemical plant in Island C produces formaldehyde (CH2O) industrially by the
catalytic oxidation of methanol (CH3OH). The following is the chemical reaction:
CH3OH + ½O2 → CH2O + H2O --- (1)
Unfortunately, a significant portion of the formaldehyde will react with oxygen to produce CO
and H2O. The following is the side reaction:
CH2O + ½O2 → CO + H2O --- (2)
Assume twice the stoichiometric amount of air needed for oxidation (all chemical reactions) is
fed to the reactor. The conversion of methanol is 90% in the reactor. The outlet stream of the
reactor was analysed and found to be 150 kg/hr of formaldehyde, 30 kg/hr of CO and other
components.(i) Determine the mass flowrate (kg/hr) of Stream A. (ii) Determine the molar flowrate (kg-moles/hr) of Stream B (iii) Determine the mass flowrate (kg/hr) of water in the outlet stream.

Water at 70°f and streams enter the mixing chamber at the same mass flow rate, determine the temperature and the quality of the exiting stream. 0 psia is heated in a chamber by mixing it with saturated water vapor at 20 psia. if both streams enters the mixing chamber at the same mass flow rate, determine the temperature and the quality of the existing system.
