Final Reactant Conversion Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Final Reactant Conversion = ((Recycle Ratio+1)/Recycle Ratio)*Total Feed Reactant Conversion
X_f = ((R+1)/R)*X₁
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Final Reactant Conversion - Final Reactant Conversion gives us the percentage reactant conversion after the reaction.
Recycle Ratio - Recycle Ratio is defined as volume of feed, returned to the reactor entrance divided by the volume of the leaving streams.
Total Feed Reactant Conversion - Total Feed Reactant Conversion gives us amount of reactant conversion after addition of recycle stream.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Recycle Ratio: 0.3 --> No Conversion Required
Total Feed Reactant Conversion: 0.1385 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

X_f = ((R+1)/R)*X₁ --> ((0.3+1)/0.3)*0.1385

Evaluating ... ...

What is recycle in chemical engineering?

The essentials of the recycling method are that the mixture of both reacted and unreacted products reaches a separating system beyond the reactor where these products are separated from each other; then the unreacted part mixes with the fresh feed stock and the resulting mixture is passed into the reactor.

Why is chemical recycling important?

Chemical recycling could reduce the amount of plastic that ends up in landfills, thereby potentially reducing the release of harmful chemicals into the environment. Chemical recycling can also produce high-quality raw materials, thereby decreasing demand for fossil fuels and other natural resources.
