Sargasso sea is surrounded by which of the following oceans? 1. Gulf stream 2. Canary current 3. North Atlantic Equatorial Current 4. Labrador current Select the correct answer using the code given below. Correct Answer 1, 2 and 3 only

The correct answer is option 3, i.e. 1, 2 and 3.

The Sargasso Sea is the region in the North Atlantic Ocean.

  • It is bounded by four currents forming an ocean gyre.
  • It is bounded on the west by the Gulf stream and on the east by the Canary current.
  • It is bounded on the north by the North Atlantic current and south by the North Atlantic Equatorial currents.
  • These currents form a clockwise circulating system termed as the North Atlantic gyre.
  • Sargasso sea is distinguished because of its brown sargassum weed and calm blue water.
  • Labrador Current is a cold surface oceanic current flowing southward along the west side of the Labrador Sea.

The fresh feed to an ammonia synthesis reactor contains nitrogen, hydrogen and 2.0 mole per cent inerts. The molar ratio of H2:N2 is 3:1. The product stream consists of pure ammonia. Since conversion in the reactor is only 15%, a recycle stream is used and in order to avoid build-up of inerts, a purge stream is withdrawn. The rate of purge stream is adjusted to keep inert concentration in the recycle stream at 8 mole per cent. For a fresh feed rate of 100 moles/hr. Note that recycle stream contains only nitrogen, hydrogen and inerts. The N2:H2 ratio of 1:3 is maintained in every process stream, and calculate the moles of nitrogen entering the reactor and in the recycle stream?
