IN PYTHON NOT MATLAB: Ethylene oxide (C) can be produced by the vapor-phase catalytic oxidation of ethylene (A) with
air (B) :
C2H4(A)+12O2(B)CH2OCH2(C)
-rA=kPA13PB23=kPA0(12)23(1-x1+x)y=k'(1-x1+x)y
Where y=PP0 pressure ratio.
The ratio of the volumetric flow rate, f, is given by
f=vv0=1+xy
Calculate the catalyst weight necessary to achieve 60% conversion and plot x,y,f, and the
reaction rate as a function of catalyst weight.
Data: k=0.00392molatm*kgcat*sec,FA0=0.1362molsec,FB0=0.068molsec,P0=10
atm,=0.0367kg-1.
Hint: Use bisection method and use ode solver in PYTHON.
