Calculating flow rate of nitrogen
The feed of an ammonia synthesis reactor is 25% (lbmole) nitrogen with the balance hydrogen. The flow rate is 3000 kg/h at 65°C and 95 bar. Calculate the flow rate of nitrogen to the reactor in kg/hr.

So for 3000Kg/Hr feed we convert to lb mole feed rate=(3000/0.45359237)lb/hr =6613.868 lb/hr
So N2: H2 =1:3 in lbe mole in feed
1lbmole N2 =28 lb N21lbmole H2 =2.015 lb H2
So N2:H2 =3*2.016lb: 28Lb=6.048lb:28lb
So Each 34.048 lb feed has 28lb N2
So 1653.467lbmole/hr feed has =388.5026 lb of N2 = 388.5026lb*0.453.59237kg/lb =176.2218 Kg/Hr N2

I) Sulphur dioxide (SO2) with a volumetric flow rate 5000cm3/s at 1 bar and 1000C is mixed with a second SO2 stream flowing at 2500cm3/s at 2 bar and 200C. The process occurs at steady state. You may assume ideal gas behaviour. For SO2 take the heat capacity at constant pressure to be CP/R = 3.267+5
