01) (50 pts) The gaseous elementary reaction (A+ B2C) takes place isothermally at a steady state in a PBR. 30 kg of spherical catalysts is used. The feed is equimolar and contains only A and B. At the inlet, the total molar flow rate is 20 mol/min and the total volumetric flow rate is 20 dm? ka is 1.5 dm /mol. kg. min) Consider the following two cases: • Case (1): The volumetric flow rate at the outlet is 6 times the volumetric flow rate at the inlet. • Case (2): The volumetric flow rate remains unchanged. a) Calculate the pressure drop parameter (a) in case (1). (15 pts/ b) Calculate the conversion in case (1). [15 pts) c) Calculate the conversion in case (2). [10 pts) d) Comment on the obtained results in b) and c). [10 pts
