Question: the elemental gas phase reaction, A + B C + D , takes place at a constant temperature in a Straight - Through Transport Reactor

the elemental gas phase reaction, A+BC+D, takes place at a constant temperature in a Straight-Through Transport Reactor(SSTR) with a diameter of 0.5m.k=1.0dm3mol.s and the volume flow rate is v0=10dm3s. The feed consists of A and B in a stoichiometric ratio. The feed concentration of A is 0.2moldm3.100kg of catalyst is used in the reactor. The catalyst decay law follows second order. kd=0.2s-1.
a) Find the conversion would be obtained in a 10m high reactor. Assume that the catalyst moves at the same speed as the gas in the reactor. Plot X-Z curve.
b) What is the activity of the catalyst at the exit of the reactor? Plot a-Z curve
c) What reactor size would you choose, considering the fixed and operating costs if the reactor? Explain Why?
