For isothermal, isobaric, catalytic gas-phase oxidation. C2H4 02 → C2H40 reaction follows the following reaction rate law: 1.96 exp (- T-142H4 -2400 10.00098 (11,200 RT C2H4 where Pc2H4 is the partial pressure of ethylene. An equimolar feed consisting of ethylene and oxygen enters the packed bed reactor at 8 atm and 227 C. Express the rate law and the concentration of each species solely as a function of conversion.
6 (20 pts). The irreversible elementary reaction of A+B take place in the packed bed rector PRO as shown below. Unfortunately, the catalyst particle size is so small as to induce the pressurəsro across the catalyst bed (P. = 20 atm and Pout 9 atm). You want to reduce the pressure drop and thereby increase the overall conversion. One way to eliminate the pressure drop in the catalytic reactor is to use a fluidized CSTR-type reactor in which a catalyst...
