Question: The first order, reversible reaction A B + 2 C takes place in a membrane reactor. Pure A enters the reactor, and B diffuses through

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. 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. Also show written or hand calculations
