 3. [30 points ] The reaction A+BC occurs in a packed

3. [30 points ] The reaction A+BC occurs in a packed bed reactor (a plug flow reactor, A,B,C in liquid phase, v=v0) with non-porous catalyst particles as per the kinetics r=(1+KACA+KBCB+KCCC)2kCACB{catalystmass.time}mol,KA=0.8molL,KB=1.2molL,KC=0.6molL. The following additional information is available: CA0=1mol/L,CB0=1.5mol/L,CC0 =0mol/L (no inerts in feed). The external transport resistances are negligible, i.e., CJs= CJb=CJ,J=A,B,C, everyone in the reactor, with CJ varying along the length of the reactor. The desired fractional conversion of the stochiometrically limiting reactant is 0.7. Compute kW/FA0(W - catalyst mass, FA0 - molar flow rate of A) by integrating the mass balance for the stochiometrically limiting reactant
