Question: The elementary reversible li&nid phase reaction A + B C is carried out adiabatically in packed bed reactors which are connected in series. These reactors
The elementary reversible li&nid phase reaction A B C is carried out adiabatically in packed bed reactors which are connected in series. These reactors have enough catalyst packing to achieve of the corresponding equilibrium conversion for this reaction. There are interstage coolers between these reactors that cool the reaction medium exiting from each reactor to The molar fractions of and inert solvent in the feed to the first reactor are and respectively. The temperature of the feed is and the amount of in the feed is kmol The heat capacities of the and inert solvent are and ole. respectively. The heat of reaction at is oleA. The following fractional equilibrium conversion vs temperature data is available for this reaction:What should be the number of packed bed reactors in series to achieve overall fractional conversion of A in this system?I want a graphical solution to this question.Do not forget that it is an exo reaction.Also it should be shown as both xe and adiabatic in the graph
