11. A first-order reaction RS,Hr=0 is being conducted at 1atm and 609K in a Mixed Flow (Basket-Type) Reactor with 0.01kg of 0.0012m catalyst particles at a feed rate of 4106 m3/s of pure R. Under these conditions, 80% conversion of R can be achieved. It is envisaged to design a high capacity commercial-sized reactor with 80% conversion at the above conditions. The choice is between a fluidized bed (approximated as MFR) with 0.001m particles and a PBR with 0.015m particles. Which reactor type should be selected to minimize the catalyst amount? [10]
