Abstract
An isothermal heterogeneous reactor with first order kinetics is characterized by two virtual maximum efficiencies, N kin and N tr, which are readily determined from the appropriate kinetic and transport parameters. The actual efficiency of the reactor, which is related to the conversion, X, by X = 1−e − N , can be accurately approximated as N −1 = N −1 tr + N −1 kin. The overall additivity relation offers a simple approach either to predict the conversion or to extract the kinetic or transport parameters when the reactor behavior is affected by both reaction and diffusion.
