Question: Gas A is decomposed at 700 C with a partial pressure of 1 atm, with a first-order irreversible reaction, in a constant bed isothermal reactor,
Gas A is decomposed at 700 C with a partial
pressure of 1 atm, with a first-order irreversible
reaction, in a constant bed isothermal reactor,
volume 100 cm3. The reactor contains spherical
catalyst granules, 5 mm in diameter, and the bed
porosity is 0.5. The rate of decomposition is 0.25
mol/ sec. The effective diffusion of the reactant
in the catalyst granules is
1.0 x 10-6 m2 sec.
a) Calculate the efficiency factor of the catalyst
b) What should be the size of the grains in order
to eliminate all resistances due to internal
diffusion?
(0.5 points)
c) To develop the equation of the external
isothermal and non-isothermal efficiency factor
for a zero order reaction.
A > B.
d) Develop an equation for the efficiency factor
of a 2L cylindrical pore. Both ends of the pore are
exposed to Cs concentration reagents. An
irreversible first-order reaction (A > B) takes
place on the walls of the pore. The result will be
of the form =f (p) where p is the Thiele
number for an individual resource. The pore
radius is a and the diffusion of A in the pore is D.
The reaction rate constant is ks, in (mol / cm2-
sec) x (mol cm3).
i know that is already an answer here, but i want the question solved with explanations from an expert because i think the uploaded one is wrong.
thank you and dont upload the same
