Abstract

An approximate analytical technique is presented for solving nonlinear differential equations that govern steady-state mass transfer with reversible reaction. Its essential feature, which K. A. Smith devised to analyze membrane transport with rapid reaction, is linearization of the kinetics on the assumption of small local departures from equilibrium. It is shown here to yield precise estimates of enhancement factors for absorption and effectiveness factors for catalysis over complete ranges of operating regimes, from exceedingly slow reaction to instantaneous reaction.
