Ammonia is produced by reacting nitrogen and hydrogen. A feed stream consisting of 2.400% argon (by mole) and stoichiometric proportion of the reactants (N2 and H2) is fed into the system at the rate of 100 mol/min. The components enter a reactor, and then all ammonia is separated from the other components and leaves the process. The other components are recycled back to the feed stream, with a portion being purged from the system. The mole percentage of argon in...
