HOW TO CALCULATE THE OUTLET AVERAGE CONVERSION

The outlet conversion can readily be calculated for the case where no radial effects exists by the following expression:

In this case however, to determine the molar flow rate at the exit of the reactor, F_A, is not all that easy since it varies in the radial direction. To find the mean molar flow rate at the exit we have to integrate:

Once the molar flow rate at the exit been calculated, the conversion is readily determined using the expression above.
