is carried out adiabatically in a PFR packed with a catalyst. Pure A enters the reactor at a
volumetric flow rate of 20 dm3/s at a pressure of 10 atm and a temperature of 450 K.
a) Plot the conversion and temperature down the plug-flow reactor until an 80%
conversion (if possible) is reached. (The maximum catalyst weight that can be packed
into the PFR is 50 kg.) Assume that ∆P = 0.0.
b) What catalyst weight is necessary to achieve 80% conversion in a CSTR?
c) Write a question that requires critical thinking and then explain why your question
requires critical thinking. [Hint: See Preface Section B.2.]
d) Now take the pressure drop into account in the PFR.

The reactor can be packed with one of two particle sizes. Choose one.
α = 0.019/kg cat for particle diameter D1
α = 0.0075/kg cat for particle diameter D2
Plot the temperature, conversion, and pressure along the length of the reactor. Vary the
parameters α and P0 to learn the ranger of values in which they dramatically affect the
conversion.

c) Pertanyaan: apakah saja yang dapat dipelajari dari grafik hubungan antara suhu dan
berat katalis terhadap konversi?
Pertanyaan tersebut memerlukan pemikiran kritis karena mendata kesimpulan yang bisa
didapat melalui grafik tersebut.
