Consider the isothermal gas-phase decomposition reaction: A → B + C. The reaction is to take place at a feed rate of A equal to 0.4 moles/s. What is the space velocity of the fed if space time necessary to achieve the 80% conversion in the PFR is 5 hour? Assume that the process proceed under identical conditions as those under which the tabulated batch data was obtained?
