The reaction

is carried out adiabatically in a series of staged packed-bed reactors with interstage cooling The lowest temperature to which the reactant stream may be cooled is 27C. The feed is equal molar in A and B, and the catalyst weight in each reactor is sufficient to achieve 99.9% of the equilibrium conversion. The feed enters at 27C and the reaction is carried out adiabatically. If four reactors and three coolers are available, what conversion may be achieved?
