1) A gas phase reaction A B takes place in a packed bed reactor. The pressure gradient arised along the length of PBR is assumed to be constant as dP / dW = -0.2 atm.kg. The conversion achieved in this first order irreversible reaction is 86.5%. The catalyst amount in PBR is 60 kg, while the pressure is 20 atm the at entrance of the reactor. Consider that you replace this PBR with a fluidized CSTR with a catalyst weight of 60 kg and no pressure change in the reactor. If you operate your CSTR at the same temperature and entering pressure, calculate the conversion you can obtain in this new system. 1) A gas phase reaction A B takes place in a packed bed reactor.
