This isomerization is carried out in a moving-bed reactor containing 100 kg of a catalyst that follows first-order decay. The pressure-drop parameter at 400 K is= 9.8 x 10 -3 kg cat -1 . The entering temperature and feed rate are 400 K and 1 mol/s of pure A. Describe how you would operate (P A0 , U s , T) the bed if (a) B were the desired product. what changes would you recommend in part (a)?
