Question: Problem 1 ( 5 0 / 1 0 0 ) : The elementary irreversible gas phase reaction A B + C is carried out adiabatically

Problem 1(50/100): The elementary irreversible gas phase reaction AB+C is carried out
adiabatically in a packed bed reactor at 10atm (pressure drop is negligible). Pure A is fed to the
reactor with a volumetric flow rate of 20dm3s and feed temperature of 450K.
What is the catalyst bed weight (in kg) necessary to achieve 80% conversion in the
reactor?
Use numerical integration.
Additional information:
HA(273K)=-70kJmol,HB(273K)=-50kJmol,HC(273K)=-40kJmol
CPA=40JmolK,CPB=25JmolK,CPC=15JmolK
k=0.133exp[ER(1450-1T)]dm3kgcat(s);E=31.4kJmol
