    The document provides equations to estimate the length of an isothermal reactor needed to convert an inlet stream from an initial composition xA(0) to an outlet composition xA(L). (a) A steady-state mass balance equation is derived that relates the rate of change of the concentration of substance A over the reactor length to the rate of mass flow and surface area. (b) This mass balance equation is combined with an expression for the rate of the conversion reaction to obtain an integral equation for the required reactor length L in terms of the inlet composition xA(0), molecular weights, diffusion coefficient, and other parameters. The reactor length can be estimated by evaluating this integral.

    Estimation of the required length of an isothermal reactor (Fig. 18.3-1). Let a be the area of
    catalyst surface per unit volume of a packed-bed catalytic reactor and S be the cross-sectional
    area of the reactor. Suppose that the rate of mass flow through the reactor is w (in lb,/hr, for
    example).
    (a) Show that a steady-statemass balance on substance A over a length dl of the reactor
    leads to
    dω A 0 Sa N A M A
    = (18C.4-1)
    dl w
    (b) Use the result of (a) and Eq. 18.3-9, with the assumptions of constant δ and DAB to
    obtain an expression for the reactor length L needed to convert an inlet stream of
    composition xA(0) to an outlet stream of compositionx,(L).
    (Hint:Equation (P)of Table 17.8-1may be useful.)
