Consider the gas-phase decomposition of ethane (A) to ethylene at 750°C and 101 kPa (assume both constant) in a PFR. If the reaction is first-order with k_A = 0.534 s^{-1} (Froment and Bischoff, 1990, p. 351), and τ is 1 s, calculate f_A . For comparison, repeat the calculation on the assumption that density is constant. (In both cases, assume the reaction is irreversible.)
