Using a process simulator (ie, CHEMCAD, ASPEN), model a four bed reactor for the oxidation of SO2

Question:

Using a process simulator (ie, CHEMCAD, ASPEN), model a four bed reactor for the oxidation of SO2 to SO3 assuming that equilibrium is reached after each bed. The feed consists of 10% SO2, 11% O2, and 79% N2 at 750K and 1 atm. Assume that equilibrium is reached at each bed:

a. Determine the cooling needs after each bed and the conversion after each bed to reach at least 98% conversion after the four beds.

b. Explain what happens if after the third bed, SO3 is removed from the system.
