Question: The first order, reversible reaction: A - > B + 2 C , Takes place in a membrane reactor. Pure A enters the reactor, and

The first order, reversible reaction: A->B+2C , Takes place in a membrane reactor. Pure A enters the reactor, and B diffuses through the membrane.
Unfortunately, some of reactant A also diffuses through the membrane. Use the CRE Algorithm in
terms of mole balances for each species and show Steps 1-3. Use Polymath to evaluate and plot the
flow rates of A, B, and C and the conversion X (not needed for the calculations of A, B, C, but it can
still be computed based on amount of A) along the volume of the reactor. You may use kCA and kCB
values provided above to calculate the diffusion rates of A and B, respectively. Show polymath code
