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 catalyst as shown in figure below: P, 20 atm P=2 atm Figure.1 Packed bed reactor with 100 kg of catalyst. 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 regime, with species A feed molar rate (F)of 10 mol/min and feed concentration (C) of 0.4 mol/dm³. Currently 80% of conversion is achieved. Calculate the conversion if the catalyst particle size were doubled and everything else remained the same.

Question
Transcribed Image Text: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 catalyst as shown in figure below:
Р, 20 atm
P=2 atm
Figure.1 Packed bed reactor with 100 kg of catalyst.
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 regime, with species A feed molar rate (F)of
10 mol/min and feed concentration (C0) of 0.4 mol/dm .
Currently 80% of conversion is achieved.
Calculate the conversion if the catalyst particle size were doubled and everything else remained
the same.
