A second-order reaction 2AB+C is taking place in a packed-bed reactor, which is a 11/2-inch schedule 40 pipe packed with catalyst. P0=10atm=1013kPa. The temperature is constant along the length of pipe at 260C. y=P0P=(1P020z)1/2=Ac(1)pcP020 Entering volumetric flow rate w=7.15m3/h(252ff3/h). Catalyst pellet size: DP=0.006m (ca. 1/-inch). =Ac(1)pcP020 The void fraction is 45%. Solid catalyst density: c=1923kg/m3(120lb/m/f3) Cross-sectional area of 11/2 - inch schedule 40 pipe: Ae=0.0013m2. Pressure drop parameter: 0=25.8kPa/m. x=1+VnkCAW(12aW)V0kCAW(12W) Reactor length: L=20m. The entering concentration of A is 0.1kmol/m3. The specific reaction rate is k=12m6/kmolkg cat h. (a) Plot the pressure drop (pressure vs. pipe length) in the packed-bed reactor. (20 pt) (b) Calculate the conversion in the absence of pressure drop. (10pt) (c) Calculate the conversion accounting for pressure drop. (10pt) (d) What will be the conversion if the catalyst size increased by a factor of 32(10nt ) A second-order reaction 2AB+C is taking place in a packed-bed reactor, which is a 11/2-inch schedule 40 pipe packed with catalyst.
