A packed bed is loaded with a catalyst to facilitate a reaction. Here is our standard

differential equation:

$\frac{dx}{dV}=\frac{-rA}{FA{O}_O}$

This equation can be modified to account for catalyst weight by dividing both sides by the bulk

density ${}_B$ of the catalyst to get:

$\frac{dx}{dW}=\frac{-r_A}{F_{AO}B},-r^{\text{'}}A=\frac{-r_A}{B},\frac{dx}{dW}=\frac{-r^{\text{'}}A}{F_{AO}}$

We now have the following reaction:

AlongrightarrowB$+C$

This takes place in a packed bed reactor $($PBR$)$ and a fluidized bed CSTR in series. Determine

the conversion $x_2$

AlongrightarrowB$+C$

$F_{A0}=10mo\frac{l}{s}$

$C_{A0}=0\mathrm{.}1mo\frac{l}{d}{m}^3$

$W_1=$

$T=325K$;$E=2500$cal
