The new things for multiple reactions are:

Note: We could use the gas phase mole balance for liquids and then just express the concentration as:
Flow: CA=FA/v0
Batch: CA=NA/V0

Complex Reactions Example D: Membrane Reactor with ΔP
We need to reconsider our pressure drop equation. When mass diffuses out of a membrane reactor there will be a decrease in the superficial mass flow rate, G. To account for this decrease in calculating our pressure drop parameter, we will take the ratio of the superficial mass velocity at any point in the reactor to the superficial mass velocity at the entrance to the reactor. The superficial mass flow rates can be obtained by multiplying the species molar flow rates, Fi, by their respective molecular weights, Mwi, and then summing over all species:
19
Example D: Membrane Reactor with ΔP
Because the smallest molecule is the one diffusing out and has the lowest molecular weight, we will neglect the changes in the mass flow rate down the reactor and will take as first approximation.
1) Mole Balance:
We also need to account for the molar rate of desired product C leaving in the sweep gas FCsg

The maximum volume is 2,000 dm3 and CA0=0.3 mol/dm3 and CB0=0.2 mol/dm3. Plot CA, CB, CC, CD and SS/D as a function of time.
