a) Plot and then analyze the conversion and temperature in the plug-flow reactor until 80% conversion (if possible) is reached. (The maximum catalyst weight that can be packed into the PFR is 50 kg.) In other words, plot X and T vs. catalyst weight. Assume the DP = 0.0.
b) Now take the pressure drop into account in the PBR with rb = 1 kg/dm3. The reactor can be packed with two different particle sizes. With D1, a = 0.019 kg-cat/kg and with D2, a = 0.0075 kg-cat/kg. Plot the conversion and temperature for each catalyst diameter versus the catalyst weight.
