For a first order isothermal chemical reaction in a porous catalyst, the effectiveness factor is 0.3. The effectiveness factor will increase if the
-
Cold shot cooling is only practical when the feed temperature is __________ than the reaction temperature.
-
The following gas phase reaction is taking place in a plug flow reactor.
A stoichiometric mixture of A and B at 300 K is fed to the reactor. At 1 m along the length of the reactor, the temperature is 360 K. The pressure drop is negligible and an ideal gas behaviour can be assumed. Identify the correct expression relating the concentration of A at the inlet (CA0), concentration of A at 1m (CA) and the corresponding conversion of A (X). -
The preferred reacting system for oxidation of o-xylene to phthalic anhydride is
