2. The elementary irreversible gas phase catalytic reaction
A + B C + D
Is to be carried out in a PBR at constant temperature. The reactor contain 2.5 kg catalyst. The feed is stoichiometric A and B. The entering concentration of A is 0.2 mol/dm3. The catalyst decay law is zero order with kD 0.2 s-1 and k =1.0 dm3/(mol.kg cat.s) and the volumetric flowrate is v0=1 dm3/s.
Given that the decay rate law;
a=(k_D W)/U_S ; where Us is catalyst feed rate
Calculate the conversion will be achieved for a catalyst feed rate of 0.5 kg/s.
