Algorithm
Analyze the following second order gas phase reaction that occurs
isothermally in a PBR:
Mole Balance:
Must use the differential form of the mole balance to separate variables:
Analytical Solution
For gas phase reactions, as the pressure drop increases, the
concentation decreases, resulting in a decreased rate of reaction,
hence a lower conversion when compared to a reactor
without a pressure drop.
