Open questionCHNAT2 marksNeeds review
The flooding velocity curves for two different structured packings are shown in the figure. The ratio of mass velocities of liquid (
) to that of the gas (
) is 1.27. The density of the liquid (
) is 1200 kg m⁻³ and that of the gas (
) is 1.2 kg m⁻³. For both the packings, the allowable superficial vapor velocity is 60% of flooding velocity (
). The ratio of allowable mass velocity of the vapor in packing P to that in packing Q is __________ (rounded off to one decimal place).

Cyclohexane (C₆H₁₂) is produced from benzene (C₆H₆) and hydrogen (H₂) according to the following reaction.
Consider the process flow diagram shown in the figure.

In this process, the overall and single-pass conversions are 90% and 25%, respectively. The recycle stream contains 25 mol % C₆H₆ and 75 mol % H₂. If the fresh feed contains 25% excess H₂, at steady state, the ratio of the molar flow rate of recycle stream to that of the fresh feed is _________ (rounded off to one decimal place).
