CHE 499 (Spring 99)

The total molar feed rate is 10 mol/min, the initial pressure is 10 atm, the temperature is 118oC, and the pressure drop parameter, (, equals 0.01 g-1. a) Calculate the maximum weight of catalyst that one could use and maintain an exit pressure above 1 atm. b) Determine the catalyst weight necessary to achieve 90% conversion. ................
