Question: The gas - phase reaction, A - > B , follows an elementary rate law and takes place isothermally in a PBR charged with 1

The gas-phase reaction, A -> B, follows an elementary rate law and takes place isothermally in a PBR charged with 1.0 kg of catalyst. The feed, consisting of pure A, enters the PBR at a pressure of 20 atm. The conversion exiting the PBR is 30%. The pressure gradient along the length of the packed-bed is approximated as a constant at dP/dW =-0.40 atm/kg.
Calculate the quantity FA0/kCA0 using the design equation for a PBR.
