Question:
Reactant A decomposes to form product B in a CSTR. If the surface reaction is limiting, what is the total pressure at which the rate will be a maximum when 60% conversion is achieved in the reactor and that the feed consists of 40%A, 20% inerts that are non-adsorbing, and 40%B? What will be the corresponding minimum catalyst weight if the flow rate of A at entry is 10gmol/hour? Assume the reaction mechanism to be as follows:
A2----->2B
A2(g)+2A.S
KA=10atm
A.S<--->B.S
Ks=0.1h-1
B.S<---B(g)+S
KD=1 atm; Ci=0.01 gmol/gcat
