Chapter 4

Converting from Length (z) to Catalyst Weight (W):

Starting with this equation:
    (1)
we begin by multiplying the top and bottom of the left-hand side of equation (1) by the same combination of constants (which is equivalent to multiplying equation (1) by one):
Since the product of is constant, we can take it inside the derivative in the denominator to combine it with our length (z):
We'll convert from reactor length (z) as our dimension to catalyst weight (W) by making use of the equation for catalyst weight:
where:
Then:
With a little rearranging:
which we substitute into equation (1) to get:
