Purge Stream in a System with Recycle: Interactive Simulation and Excel Spreadsheet
Simulation: Purge in a Recycle System
Try to answer these questions before determining the answer with the simulation. We suggest that you write down the reasons for your answers.
- As the fraction that is purged decreases, what happens to the concentration of inert species in the recycle stream?
- As the fractional conversion in the reactor decreases, what happens to the molar flow rate of inert species in the purge stream?
