Abstract
Multiple gas solid reactions involving one solid and N gaseous reactants are investigated in this study by using a matched asymptotic expansion technique. Two cases are particularly studied. In the first case all N chemical reaction rates are faster than the diffusion rate. While in the second case only M ( M < N) chemical reaction rates are faster than the diffusion rate and the rates of the remaining ( N- M) chemical reactions are comparable to that of diffusion. For these two cases the solid concentration profile behaves like a travelling wave. In the first case the wave front velocity is contributed linearly by all gaseous reactants (additive law) while in the second case this law does not hold.
