| The autocatalytic reaction | ||
|
|
||
| is carried out isothermally in a moving-bed reactor. The reaction is elementary, follows separable catalyst decay kinetics, and the catalyst decay law is | ||
|
|
||
| (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.
