Go to Professor Herz’s Reactor Lab on the CD-ROM or on the web at www.reactorlab.net. Load Division 2, Lab 2 of The Reactor Lab concerning a packed-bed reactor (labeled PBR) in which a gas with the physical properties of air flows over spherical catalyst pellets. Perform experiments here to get a feeling for how pressure drop varies with input parameters such as reactor diameter, pellet diameter, gas flow rate, and temperature. In order to get significant pressure drop, you may need to change some of the input values substantially from those shown when you enter the lab. If you get a notice that you can’t get the desired flow, then you need to increase the inlet pressure. In Chapters 10–12, you will learn how to analyze the conversion results in such a reactor.

D. Can you repeat the measurement? (Precision)

E. Milk your data for all it’s worth.

F. We don’t believe an experiment until it’s proven by theory.

G. Tell someone about your result.
