a) Assuming that you have a fluidized CSTR and a PBR containing equal weight of catalyst, how should they be arranged for this adiabatic reaction? In each case, use the smallest amount of catalyst weight and still achieve 80% conversion. b) What is the catalyst weight necessary to achieve 80% conversion in a fluidized CSTR? c) What fluidized CSTR weight is necessary to achieve 40% conversion?
