PLEASE ANSWER IT CORRECTLY AND TIDILY 2. Consider the process shown in

the figure below, where carbon monoxide (CO) gas is being oxidized to

2. Consider the process shown in the figure below, where carbon monoxide (CO) gas is being oxidized to carbon dioxide (CO2). The inlet gas, which is 1.0 mole% CO diluted in O2, is fed into a rectangular chamber with a nonporous catalyst layer lining the top and bottom walls. The catalyst surface drives the reaction CO + 1/2O2 CO2, which is extremely rapid at the temperature of operation. For this (8%) system, you may assume that the gas velocity profile is flat, i.e., V.(y) = v, and the gas velocity is relatively slow. (a) Develop the final form of the general differential equation for mass transfer using a mole balance in terms of the concentration profile for CO, CA (species A). (10%) (b) State all necessary boundary conditions needed to specify the system.
