Effectiveness factors flat plate catalyst pellets

Set up the equations necessary to calculate the effectiveness factor for a flat-plate catalyst pellet in which the following isothermal reaction takes place ... [Pg.210]

To evaluate the effectiveness factor for a first-order, isobaric, nonisothermal, flat plate catalyst pellet, the material and energy balances must be solved simultaneously. As shown previously, the mole balance in a slab is given by ... [Pg.214]

Find an expression for the overall effectiveness factor of a first-order isothermal reaction in a flat plate catalyst pellet. [Pg.221]

Derive the energy balance for a flat-plate catalyst pellet operating under nonisothermal conditions (first-order exothermic reaction). Give a plausible argument why the effectiveness factor can in this case exceed unity. [Pg.154]
