Analysis of Microkinetics Results

1 Monomer Formation Limited Kinetics Limit versus Chain Growth Model 

FT kinetics parameters. Within lumped microkinetics, 6 can be identified with 

We will evaluate this expression using Eq. (16.6) for a, which implies that can be ignored. 

When a is close to 1, we deduce for 0 Eq. (16.14a) in the chain growth limiting case and expression 16.14b in the monomer formation limited kinetics limiting case  

In the chain growth Hmit, CO rate of consumption i co(l) chain growth parameter (1) only depend on k, and k, . CO conversion will decrease with decreasing rate of chain growth termination, but increases with the rate of chain growth.
