Question: The elementary and gaseous reaction, 2 A B + C , with specific reaction rate of 9 . 5 d m m o l g

The elementary and gaseous reaction, 2AB+C, with specific reaction rate of 9.5dmmolg cat ?min at 200C is carried out in a packed bed reactor (PBR) isothermally at 200C with pressure drop parameter, a,equals to 0.01g-1. Pure A is fed at pressure of 10atmospheresandat temperature of 200C, and a production rate of 120gmin of B is required.
The molecular weight of B is 60. Assume ideal gas law can be applied. The pressure drop in this PBR could be evaluated by the analytical solution of Ergun equation:
PP0=(1-aW)0.5
Please determine the catalyst weight if the conversion of A is to be 80%?
