The process depicted above is used to react Component A into Components B and C. In
the process the feed stream which can contain some inert component, I, is mixed with
a recycle stream before entering the reactor. In the reactor, the reaction extent is given
in the process diagram which is a function of the outlet mole fraction of component A.
After the reactor, a separator is used to separate components B and C from unreacted
A and I. Some of A and I are recycled back to the beginning of the process and the rest
is purged.

The cost of component A is $0.25/mole. There is no cost for the inert compound.
The value of component B is $1.00/mole and that of component C is $0.80/mole.
There is a cost of recycling the unreacted A and I, which is $0.20/mole of A and I
combined. Vary the amount of inert in the feed stream and show how much A
and I should be recycled to maximize the profit of the plant.
