- CHE 442 Introduction to Chemical Reactor Design Taylor-Spring 2022 Problem 3: Elements of Chemical Reaction Engineering 6 Ed. P11-7 (a) P11-7, OEQ (Old Exam Question). The gas-phase reversible reaction AEB is carried out under high pressure in a packed-bed reactor with pressure drop. The feed consists of both inerts i and Species A with the ratio of inerts to the species A being 2 to 1. The entering molar flow rate of A is 5 mol/min at a temperature of 300 K and a concentration of 2 mol/dm. Work this problem in terms of volume. Hint. V = WIP, APA Additional information: FAO - 5.0 mol/min Kc = 1000 at 300K 7.- 300K Cao = 2 mol/dm C. = 160 cal/molK V40 dm G - 2000 P. - 1.2 kg/dm ap=0,02 dm- = 18 cal/mol/ 7. - 300K Coolant C - 160 cal/mol/ 7,- 300K mc - 50 mol/min E - 10000 cal/mol - 0.1 min at 300 K C = 20 cal/mol/ AH--20000 cal/mol U - 150 cal/dm/min/ a.
