The elementary gas-phase reaction AlongrightarrowB+2C is carried out isothermally in a packed
bed reactor. Pure A enters the reactor at 10atm and 127C and a molar flow rate of 2.5
molmin. The rate constant is 0.44Lmin*kg.
a) Calculate the catalyst weight necessary to achieve 90% conversion without pressure
drop.
b) Calculate the catalyst weight necessary to achieve 90% conversion? Take =0.001
kg-1.
c) Plot X and y down the length of the reactor using Polymath.
