Question 2.(50 pts) The elementary reversible liqurid phase reaction A+B,C is carried out adiabatically in packed bed reactors which are connected in series. These reactors have enough catalyst packing to achieve 99% of the corresponding equilibrium conversion for this reaction. There are interstage coolers between these reactors that cool the reaction medium exiting from each reactor to 350K. The molar fractions of A,B and inert solvent in the feed to the first reactor are 0.25,0.25 and 0.50, respectively. The temperature of the feed is 27C and the amount of A in the feed is 0.01kmolemin. The heat capacities of the A, B, C and inert solvent are 20.92,8.37,29.28 and 6.28J? mole. C, respectively. The heat of reaction at 273K is -41839JmoleA. The following fractional equilibrium conversion vs temperature data is available for this reaction:What should be the number of packed bed reactors in series to achieve overall 0.55 fractional conversion of A in this system?
