b) A tubular plug flow pilot plant packed with 2 kg catalyst is fed with 2 m'.h* pure A at 300°C and 20 atm giving a conversion Xg = 0.6. Determine the specific rate constant for the reaction at 300°C. A large plant is to treat 100 m².h* feed at 40 atm and 300°C containing 60% A and 40% inerts to give 80% conversion (Xa = 0.8). Calculate the quantity of catalyst required in this reactor. %3D
