Acompany plans to run an irreversibly-first-order gaseous reaction with the specific rate constant of 0.01 s in an isothermal flow reactor. pure a will be fed at 1 dm s and the reaction temperature is initially suggested to be set 473 k. conversion must not be less than 50% due to limitation of subsequent separators. a) based on the separator limitation, determine either a plug flow reactor with 6-m length and 6-cm diameter is feasible or not for reaction (1) (13 marks) b) the rate constant of reaction (1) using a catalyst is 0.5 dm2 kgcat s1 determine the practicality of a packed bed reactor (pbr) to run for the reaction when the same separator limitation is applied with the following conditions. feed flow: turbulence density: 100 kg m3 pressure: 2 atm catalyst packing dimension: 6-m length and 6-cm diameter density: 2,00 kg m average particle diameter: 0.5 cm void fraction: 0.4
