Conductance, cooling medium film

Throughout this book various transport properties and transfer coefficients have been used. These include effective diffusivity and thermial conductivity for mass and heat transport in catalyst pellets, film transfer coefficients for mass and heat transfer across the pellet-bulk fluid interface, transport properties for the degree of dispersion of mass and heat in the reactor, and heat transfer coefficients for heat exchange between the cooling medium and the reactor. In this chapter these transport properties and transfer coefficients are treated in detail, including experimental methods for obtaining these properties.
