The reaction | ||
is carried out on a metallic surface and follows Langmuir-Hinshelwood kinetics at room temperature with the corresponding rate law: | ||
However, at higher temperatures the reaction is mass transfer-limited. The reaction currently takes place on a monolith catalyst where 45% conversion is achieved. It is proposed to double the number of plates for the same width and to halve the length of the reactor. What conversion can be expected for
