The bulk phase is separated from a catalytic surface by a distance of 1 mm. The following reaction occurs at the catalytic surface, z=1mm.
A+2BC
At z=0, the molar fraction of A is xA0=0.2. The pressure is 4 atm and T = 520K.
1.Find the total concentration C; the pressure and temperature remain constant.
2. Use the Stefan Maxwell equations to solve for xA and xC as a function of z. Assume the reaction is fast and xA=xB=0,z=1mm. Assume all the diffusion coefficients are 10-5 m2/s.
3. Find xC0, that is xC at z=0.
