Question
Elements of Chemical Reaction Engineering, 6th Edi P5-11B OEQ (Old Exam Question). The irreversible elementary gas-phase reaction A+B+C+D is carried out isothermally at 305 K in a packed-bed reactor with 100 kg of cata- lyst. P = 20 atm P= 2 atm The entering pressure was 20 atm and the exit pressure is 2 atm. The feed is equal molar in A and B and the flow is in the turbulent flow regime, with FAO = 10 mol/min and CÃO = 0.4 mol/dm³. Currently 80% conversion is achieved. What would be the conversion if the catalyst particle size were doubled and everything else remained the same? (Ans: X= 0.83)
