The batch hydrogenation takes just about an hour to run. Let us suppose that in practical operations

Question:

The batch hydrogenation  takes just about an hour to run. Let us suppose that in practical operations we can run eight batches of fluid per day in this unit. Thus, in the long run a batch of fluid is processed every three hours. Another way of running this reaction is to feed the agitated reactor continuously at such a rate that we get 90% conversion of butynediol. How do these two processing rates compare in the long term? Give your answer as FBO,continious./FBO,batch. Assume that the liquid feed composition, gas composition and pressure, mass transfer and chemical rates are the same in both batch and continuous operations.
