please handwrite the answer

EXAMPLE 4.23: Reforming reactors are used to increase the octane number of petroleum. In a reforming process, 20,000 barrels of oil will be processed daily. The mass and molar feed rates are 44 kg/s and 440 mol/s, respectively. The dehydrogenation reactions in the reformer are as follows:

paraffin - olefin + H2

The reaction is first order with respect to paraffin.

Pure paraffin enters the reactor at a pressure of 2000 kPa and a concentration of 0.32 mol/dm3.

Compare the conversion for a packed bed reactor with a diameter of 2.4 m and a length of 25 m and a spherical reactor with a diameter of 6 m. The catalyst weight is the same for both reactors
