A spherical porous catalyst particle of radius R is subjected to reactant A which reacts to form B by a zero order surface reaction A → B. Film mass transfer resistance is negligible and pore diffusion of A is rate…

A batch adiabatic reactor at an initial temperature of 373°K is being used for the reaction, A → B. Assume the heat of reaction is – 1kJ/mole at 373°K and heat capacity of both A and B to be constant…

Pure ethanol vapor is fed to a reactor packed with alumina catalyst, at the rate of 100 kmole / hr. The reactor products comprise: ethylene: 95 kmole / hr, water vapour: 97.5 k mole / hr and diethyl ether: 2.5…

‘If the catalyst pore size is small in comparison with the mean free path, collisions with the pore wall controls the process’. The diffusivity under this condition is called ‘Knudsen diffusivity’, which is affected by the_____________________? A. PressureB. Temperature C.…
