QUESTION 3: 10 marks A liquid phase isomerization reaction A--> was carried out in a Packed- 10 points bed Reactor with a solid catalyst. The reaction is very fast and the overall rate-controlling step is the external mass transfer between catalyst surface and the bulk fluid. Recently, market demand for the product has fallen by 50%, due to Covid-19 pandemic. Therefore, the management has decided to cut the production by half so that the raw material consumption can be reduced...
