(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The conversion of reactant A if the two reactors are directly connected in a series is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The conversion, X can be defined as the moles of any species A that are reacted per mole of A fed in the reactor.

The reactors that consist of the particles of solid catalysts which are packed in the form of bed are known as fixed bed reactors.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The conversion of reactant A if the products of the first reactor are separated through some processing and the unconverted A is fed to the second reactor is to be stated.

Concept introduction:
