Chapter 14: External Diffusion Effects on Heteregeneous Reactions
Objective
After completing Chapter 14 of the text and associated website material, the reader will be able to:
- Discuss Fick's Law and diffusion.
- Define the mass transfer coefficient, explain what it is function of and how it is measured or calculated.
- Analyze PBRs in which mass transfer limits the rate of reaction.
- Discuss how one goes form a region mass transfer limitation to reaction limitation.
- Apply the shrinking core model to analyze catalyst regeneration.
