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

Modeling eye movements is commonly performed in the Matlab/Simulink pacakage. Based on the Physiological evidence, oculomotor plants have been designed to simulate various eye movements. Choose two eye movement models, one for saccades and the other for pursuit, and simulate the following amplitudes
The feed to an ammonia synthesis reactor contain 25 mole% nitrogen and the balance hydrogen. The flow rate of the stream is 3000 kg/hr. Calculate the rate of flow of nitrogen into the reactor in kg/hr. (Hint: First calculate the average molecular weight of the mixture).
