Which of the following ratios defines the recycle ratio in a chemical process ?

Correct answer: B. Recycle stream/fresh feed stream

  • A. Gross feed stream/recycle feed stream
  • B. Recycle stream/fresh feed stream
  • C. Recycle stream/gross feed stream
  • D. None of these

Explanation

The recycle ratio compares the stream returned to the process with the fresh feed entering it, commonly written as recycle flow divided by fresh-feed flow. Gross feed includes recycle, so it is not the usual denominator for this definition.
