(a)
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:
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:
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.
