sunlight, a small quantity of liquid bromine was dissolved in water contained in
a glass battery jar and placed in direct sunlight. The following data were

is currently carried out in a packed bed reactor containing 100 kg of catalyst. The
entering pressure is 20 atm and the exit pressure is 4 atm. Currently 50%
conversion is achieved. It is proposed to add a CSTR with 200 Kg of catalyst
downstream of the PBR. There is no pressure drop in the CSTR. The flow rate
and temperature remain unchanged.
a) What would be the overall conversion in such an arrangement?
b) Is there a better way to carry out the reaction, and if so what is it?
