Question: ( 3 5 points ) The irreversible elementary gas phase reaction 2 A B + C is currently carried out in a packed bed reactor

(35 points) The irreversible elementary gas phase reaction
2AB+C
is currently carried out in a packed bed reactor containing 100kg of catalyst. The entering
pressure is 20atm and the exit pressure is 4atm. Currently 50% conversion is achieved. It is
proposed to add a CSTR with 200Kg of catalyst downstream of the PBR. There is no pressure
drop in the CSTR. The flow rate and temperature remain unchanged.
What would be the overall conversion in such an arrangement?
 (35 points) The irreversible elementary gas phase reaction 2AB+C is currently
