Question: P 1 1 - 5 A The elementary, irreversible gas - phase reaction A B + C is carried out adiabatically in a PFR packed

P11-5 A The elementary, irreversible gas-phase reaction
AB+C
is carried out adiabatically in a PFR packed with a
catalyst. Pure A enters the reactor at a volumetric flow
rate of 20dm3s, at a pressure of 10atm, and a
temperature of 450K.
Additional information:
CPA=40Jmol*K,CPB=25Jmol*K,CPC=15Jmol*K
HAo=-70kJmol,HBo=-50kJmol,HCo=-40kJmol
All heats of formation are referenced to 273K.
k=0.133exp[ER(1450-1T)]dm3(kg)-cat*s, with E=31.4kJmol
Plot and then analyze the conversion and temperature down the plug-
flow reactor until an 80% conversion (if possible) is reached. (The
maximum catalyst weight that can be packed into the PFR is 50kg.)
Assume that P=0.0
 P11-5 A The elementary, irreversible gas-phase reaction AB+C is carried out
