(a) What are the different factors that effects the rate of reaction when a porous catalyst particle is immersed/cover completely by reactant?
(b) Draw a plot between the effectiveness factor and the Thiele modulus or (:MT}.
(c) The results of the kinetic runs on the reaction AR made in an experimental packed bed reactor using a fixed feed rate FAo=10kmolh are as follows:
\table[[W, kg catalyst,1,2,3,4,5,6,7],[xA,0.12,0.20,0.27,0.33,0.37,0.41,0.44]]
(i) Find the reaction rate at 40% conversion.
(ii) For a feed rate of 400kmolh to large scale packed bed reactor, find the amount of catalyst needed for 40% conversion.
(iii) Find the amount of catalyst that would be required in part (ii) if the reactor employed a very large recycle of product stream.
 (a) What are the different factors that effects the rate of
