A moving grate is fed with a feed having different size fractions. The reacting gas flows cross current to feed. The maximum residence time of feed over the moving grate is 15 minutes. The feed consists of 10 % of 50 um radius particles, 20% of 100 um radius particles, 30% of 150 um radius particles, 15% of 200 um radius particles and 25% of 250 um radius particles. The time required for complete conversion of these different sizes of particle is 6, 12, 18, 24 and 25 minutes respectively. Calculate the fraction of solid converted on the moving grate reactor.
