c) A solid catalyst is used. The specific rate constant of the reaction, k' = 10-³ L² mol-¹ kgcat¹ s¹. The reaction is conducted at 300 °C and 10 atm. A continuous tubular reactor that is packed with 700 g of catalyst bed (PBR) is used. Evaluate the conversion of the PBR if its internal diameter is 10 cm, the catalyst particle diameter is 5 mm, void fraction is 0.4, the catalyst density is 2500 kg m³, the total feed flow (laminar) is 10 mol min, density and dynamic viscosity of the reacting gas are 3 kg m³ and 3 x 10¹5 kg m¹¹ s¹¹, respectively.
