The following first-order reaction is taking place in the PBR.
A→ B
The reaction rate and rate constant are given by:
A is fed to reactor with 50% inerts at 3270C and 1 atmosphere. Feed rate of A is 37.5 moles/h. Pressure drop parameter α = 0.0045kg-1. Get the expression which associates conversion in reactor to weight of catalyst used. Explain your suppositions. What conversion can you get with 100 kg of catalyst?
