Chapter 5: Isothermal Reactor Design: Conversion

Deriving CA and CB:

Remember that the reaction is:
For a gas phase system:
If the conditions are isothermal (T = T0) and isobaric (P = P0):
We must divide by the stoichiometric coefficient of our basis of calculation yielding:
And if the feed is equal molar, then:
This leaves us with CA as a function of conversion alone:
Similarly for CB:
