Question: Problem 2 ( 5 0 / 1 0 0 ) : The elementary irreversible organic gas - phase reaction A B + C is carried

Problem 2(50/100): The elementary irreversible organic gas-phase reaction AB+C is
carried out in a packed bed reactor with heat exchange. Pressure drop is negligible. Pure A enters
the reactor at a volumetric flow rate of 20dm3s,10atm, and 450K(feed temperature). Heat is
removed by a heat exchanger jacketing the reactor. The flow rate of coolant through the jacket is
sufficiently high so that the heat transfer fluid temperature is constant at 323K.
Derive differential equations describing the change of conversion and temperature with respect
to the catalyst weight. Calculate all parameters and write the resulting differential equations as
a sole function of conversion and temperature (by substituting numerical values for parameters
and writing the reaction rate expression explicitly).
