Question: x = k C A 0 W v 0 ( 1 - W 2 ) 1 + k C A 0 W v 0 (

x=kCA0Wv0(1-W2)1+kCA0Wv0(1-W2)aA second-order reaction is taking place in a packed bed reactor. 40kg catalyst is loaded in the reactor. For a volumetric flow rate of 4m^3/h and entering concentration of 0.1kmol/m^3, find the conversion for =0.045 kg^-1.(k=10 m^6/(kmol*kgcat*h)).
X=
bThe company decided to change the catalyst in the reactor. The new catalyst particle diameter is 2 times bigger than the previous one. And also they doubled the entering pressure. If we are in the laminar flow regime, Calculate the new conversion. ( The reactor is operated at isothermal conditions). For the laminar flow regime \alpha parameter changes according to the equation below;
2=1( A c1/ A c2)^2( D p1/ D p2)^2(P 01/ P 02)^2*(T 02/ T 01)
