EXTENSION TO COMPLEX RATE MODELS HOMOGENEOUS CATALYSIS 

The reaction is controlled by the chemical kinetics in this regime, and hence diffusional limitations are absent. Depending on the reaction, the rate equation can have any of many hyperbolic forms, such as those presented in Chapter 8. 

Regime 2 corresponds to film diffusion control and hence is independent of the kinetics. Thus the developments outlined in the previous sections are equally valid for reactions with LHHW kinetics. 

In this regime the rate is controlled by both film diffusion and reaction kinetics. Assuming that the reaction is represented by the first equation in Table 8,4 (with [/4]b for [A] ), the following equations must be solved simultaneously for the enhancement factor  

The value of rj is always less than or equal to unity.
