Example: 5.3

Styrene is made from the dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene in a PBR,
C6H5 − C2H5 → C6H5 − CH = CH2 + H2
The feed consists of 217.5 mol/s ethylbenzene, 2610 mol/s of inert steam, the reaction
is isothermal, T = 880 K, and 1.378 bar. The reaction rate is in first order with
respect to ethylbenzene. The volume of the reactor is 160 m3, 3 m length, and a
void fraction of 0.445. The catalyst particle diameter is 0.0047 m, and particle
density is 2146.3 kg/m3.
