Chapter 15: Diffusion and Reaction in Porous Catalysts
Deriving the Dimensionless Equation:
| We begin with this equation: |
 |
| Let's define our dimensionless variables as: |
 |
| Before we can make any substitutions, we have to do a little setup: |
 |
 |
| Now we can make our substitutions: |
 |
| and we can collect our constants into one term: |
 |
| Our dimensionless equation is then: |
 |
| where: |
