(b) Repeat part (a) by accounting for pressure drop for the case where the gas density varies down the reactor [i.e.
. Both reactants and
fresh catalyst enter at the same end.

| (a) Neglect pressure drop and determine the activity and concentration
profiles as a function of catalyst weight along the reactor. (b) Repeat part (a) by accounting for pressure drop for the case where the gas density varies down the reactor [i.e. . Both reactants and
fresh catalyst enter at the same end.
