$13-1.$ Suppose it were possible to operate an ethyl benzene$-$dehydrogenation reactor under approximately isothermal conditions. If the temperature is $650C,$ prepare a curve for conversion vs catalyst$-$bed depth which extends to the equilibrium conversion. The catalyst to be used is that for which rate data were presented in Example $13-1.$ Additional data are:

Diameter of catalyst tube $=3ft$

; Feed rate of ethyl benzene per tube $=8\mathrm{.}0$lbmole$\frac{s}{h}r$

Feed rate of steam per tube $=225lb$ moles $\frac{?}{hr}$

Bulk density of catalyst as packed $=90l\frac{b}{f}{t}^3$
