Question: In a study, a 2 % hydrazine and 9 8 % of helium mixture is to be passed over a packed bed of cylindrical particles

In a study, a 2% hydrazine and 98% of helium mixture is to be passed over a packed bed of cylindrical particles of 0.25 cm in diameter and 0.5 cm in length at a gas-phase velocity of 15ms and a temperature of 750 K . The kinematic viscosity of helium at this temperature is 4.5x10-4ms. The hydrazine decomposition reaction is believed to be externally mass transfer limited under this condition. If the packed bed is 0.05 m in length,
Given;
DAB=3.4710-4ms at 298 K
Bed porosity =30%
a) Calculate the mass transfer coefficient using Colburn JD factor.
b) Determine the conversion could be expected. Assume isothermal operation.
