Chemical Reaction Engineering

The elementary isomerization exothermic reaction is carried out isothermally at 400K in a PBR in which pressure drop plays a role, with =0.001kg1. Currently, 50% conversion is achieved. The equilibrium constant at this temperature is 3.0 . a. For a fixed mass flow rate m, if the reactor diameter is increased by a factor of (3) 4 , the conversion will (1) X>0.5 (2) X
