The irrevers ible gas phase reaction

$A+BC$

is carried outyin a PBR$.$ The reaction is non$-$elementary in that it is first order in A and

zeto order in $B.$ The feed is equal molar in A and $B.$ and the pressure at the entrance is

$20$atm and the pressure at the exit is $1$atm, molar flow rate is $100mo\frac{l}{s},k=0\mathrm{.}5\frac{m^3}{k}g.s,$ catalys weight is $200kg$ and CAO is $2mo\frac{l}{m}3.$ Calculate:

$($i$)$ Conversion without variable pressure

$($ii$)$ Conversion with variable pressure.
