Chapter 5, Problem 5.20P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Whether the PBR should be placed upstream or downstream of the CSTR to obtain the highest conversion is to be stated.

Concept Introduction:

The conversion, X can be defined as the moles of any species A that are reacted per mole of A fed in the reactor.

The full form of CSTR is Continuous-Stirred Tank Reactor. This reaction has its application in the industrial processes. This reactor actually used for liquid-phase reactions.

The full form of PBR is Packed-Bed Reactor which is used for the fluid-solid heterogeneous reactions. These fluid-solid heterogeneous reactions take place at the surface of the catalyst.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The conversion that is coming out of the first reactor is to be stated.

Concept Introduction:

The conversion, X can be defined as the moles of any species A that are reacted per mole of A fed in the reactor.

The full form of PBR is Packed-Bed Reactor which is used for the fluid-solid heterogeneous reactions. These fluid-solid heterogeneous reactions take place at the surface of the catalyst.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The conversion that exits in the last reactor is to be stated.

(d)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

(e)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The method by which the answer of the condition, when the diameter of the catalyst is decreased by a factor of $2$ and diameter of PBR is increased by $50\%$ is to be stated.
