Answer to Question #287939 in Chemical Engineering for Cabik.J

Question

 The irreversible gas phase reaction A + B --® 2C

is carried out in a PBR. The reaction rate is given as -rA = kCA. The feed is equal molar in A and B and the weight of the catalyst used is 15 kg.

Additional information FA0 = 100 mol/s

k = 1 dm³/kg.s CA0 = 1 mol/dm³

a = 0.064 kg-1

 

Determine the conversion exiting the reactor.
