3. (10 pts) Apart from flow rate and initial composition / ratio, identify at least 2 factors that can be tested based on the formula below for a packed bed reactor operating at steady state. It has been assumed that only the forward reaction is significant. where x is the conversion In (0B-x)\ OB(1-x)) =k CAW (OB - 1) Q OB is the feed ratio of B to A k is the reaction rate constant CA is the initial concentration of A W is the weight of the catalyst, and Q is the volumetric flow rate through the reactor. 3.
