Question

Consider the process in the figure for manufacturing $B$. The feed to the process is 90 mol% $A$ and a close-boiling inert component $I$. At a particular steady-state:
- $B$ product rate is 100 kmol $h^{-1}$
- Single-pass conversion of $A$ in the reactor is 50%
- Recycle-to-purge stream flow ratio is 10
The flow rate of $A$ in the purge stream in kmol h^-1, rounded off to 1 decimal place, is ___________
