Notes:
By using curve fitting techniques, mathematical formulas are obtained for the catalyst effectiveness factors for nonisothermal first-order and second-order irreversible chemical reactions. The effects of intraparticle mass and heat diffusion upon the concentration and temperature profiles in adiabatic and nonadiabatic catalytic reactors are examined. A relation between the maximum interstitial adiabatic temperature and the maximum intraparticle temperature in the reactor is obtained. For some sets of parameters in a nonadiabatic reactor, the concentration and temperature and, consequently, the reactor effluent are sensitive to small changes in the properties of catalyst particles.
