The dehydration butanol on alumina is carried out over a silica-alumina catalyst at 680 K. CH3CH2CH2OH →CH3CH = CHCH3 + H2O

The rate law iswith k = 0.054 mol/gcat·h·atm and KBu = 0.32 atm^–1. Pure butanol enters a thin-tubed, packed-bed reactor at a molar flow rate of 50 kmol/hr and a pressure of 10 atm (1013·kPa).

Required:
a. What PBR catalyst weight is necessary to achieve 80% conversion in the absence of pressure drop?
b. What "fluidized CSTR" catalyst weight is necessary to achieve 80% conversio?

The last few miles of the marathon are the most difficult for heather, her hair plastered to her head, sweat clinging to her arms, and her legs already feeling as if they had nothing left, just dead weight. after grabbing a cup of ice water, she feels the ice cubes smash against her nose as she gulps some cool refreshment and keeps on running. in these last few miles, the breeze kicks up and she finally feels some coolness against her skin. drips of sweat, once clinging to her forehead, now spill down, and heather feels more pain as the sweat flows into her eyes.which of the following is the most likely reason why the ice struck heather’s nose when she took a drink? a) water can function as a solvent. b) water can store large amounts of heat. c) water can moderate temperatures through evaporative cooling. d) the density of water decreases when it freezes. e) water has a cohesive nature.sweat remained on heather’s forehead and arms because of the a) high salt content of sweat b) cohesive nature of water c) ability of water to moderate heat d) high evaporative cooling effect of water e) ability of water to act as a solvent
