Below is the Levenspiel plot for an adiabatic reaction on a heterogenous catalyst: F A 0 - r A ' ( k g catalyst )

Below is the Levenspiel plot for an adiabatic reaction on a heterogenous catalyst:
FA0-rA'(kg catalyst)
a) What is the catalyst weight necessary to achieve 80% conversion in a single
fluidized CSTR?
b) What is the catalyst weight necessary to achieve 80% conversion in a single
PBR?
c) If you have a fluidized CSTR and a PBR, how do you arrange them to use the
smallest amount of catalyst weight to achieve 80% conversion of A?
d) Plot the rate of reaction and conversion in a PBR as a function of catalyst weight
W between W=0 and 25kg, when FAO=2mols
For part a)- c), please attach a Levenspiel plot that explains your answer.
Hint: to help you calculate area, the numeric fit of the Levenspiel plot is:
FAO-rA=184.8x2-180.4x+59.9
