chemical reaction engineering

The following first-order reaction is taking place in a PBR (isothermal reactor). The reaction rate and the rate constant are given by: rA=kpAkgcathrmolk=0.75atmkgcathrmol Reactant A is fed to the reactor with 50% inert (I) at 327C (600K) and total inlet pressure is P0=1 atmosphere. Feed rate of A(FA0) is 37.5moles/h. The pressure drop parameter =0.0045kg1 [a] What is the inlet partial pressure of A(PAO) ? (0.5 marks) [b] Write down the stoichiometric table and express the partial pressure of A in terms of A and PAO ? (1.5 marks) [c] Obtain an expression that relates the conversion (X) in the reactor to the weight of the catalyst (W) used. ( 6 marks) [d] What conversion can you obtain with 100kg of the catalyst? (2 Marks) Careful : Rate is provided in terms of partial pressure of A. Don't forget the pressure drop. PBR design equation
