Download 3) A mass transfer-limited reaction is being carried out in two packed bed reactors of equal 2 points
Videos volume, connected in series as shown in Figure 3a. Currently, 86.5% conversion is being achieved with
Weekly this arrangement. It is suggested that the reactors be separated and the flow rate be divided equally
Feedback among each of the two reactors (Figure 3b) to decrease the pressure drop and hence the pumping

4) In question 3, if the reaction were conducted under surface reaction limiting conditions then 1 point
which of the following statements are true?

Reactors connected in series gives better conversion than parallel.

Reactors connected in parallel gives better conversion than series.

Reactors weather in series or in parallel will give same conversion.

Reactors connected in parallel with flow-rate divided unequally among two reactors will give
the best conversion.

No, the answer is incorrect.

Accepted Answers:
Reactors weather in series or in parallel will give same conversion.

5) Consider the mass transfer-limited reaction (A→2B). If WB = −2WA , 2 points

where WB and WA are flux of B and A respectively. Derive the expression for yA .

z
yA = 1 + (yA0 − 1)(1+ δ )

z
yA = −1 + (yA0 + 1)(1− δ )

z
yA = 1 − (yA0 + 1)(1+ δ )
