Calculate the Effectiveness Factor and Thiele Modulus for Catalyst Pellets
Question
Kinetics experiments were performed with several different sizes of spherical catalyst pellets. In all experiments, the bulk concentration of A was fixed at 0.050 mol/L, with A fed through the catalyst bed at 350°C. The reaction is suspected to be second order, of the form A → products. Data are shown in the table, below:
dp, mm 1.0 5.0 20
robs, molL-1S-l 10.5 4.8 1.5
a) Determine the rate constant for the intrinsic reaction and the effective diffusivity based on the 5 mm and 20 mm particles. State all assumptions.
b) Determine the effectiveness factor and Thiele modulus for each particle.
Summary
The question belongs to Chemical Engineering and the question is about kinetic experiments on spherical catalyst pellets. The constant rate of intrinsic reaction and effective diffusivity and the effectiveness factor of thiele modules of each pellet has been calculated in the solution.

WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY
My professor had mandated that the class had to use legal case studies as supporting examples for the constitutional law assignment essay. Frankly I did not know where I would get the required material. My problem was solved by the experts at TheReliableTutor who themselves are practicing constitutional lawyers and could easily incorporate the requisite examples and help me write my constitutional law assignment.

Biochemistry was difficult to me right from the day I started to attend classes. I had problems in understanding the concepts. Then I found TheReliableTutor.com and my perspective towards the subject has completely changed. Learning became more interesting than before. Thanks to thereliabletutor.com

When I saw that the dissertation writers are from Canada itself it was such a big relief. They are aware of the structural requirements and also at the same time got the citations and the referencing exactly as demanded.
Daphne Bernard Student
I was really stuck with my human structure assignments when I came across TheReliableTutor.com. To be honest, I was skeptical. Then I got an A in my cardiovascular systems assignment. That was the first work they did for me. From there it only got better. I am now thinking of doing my MSN and will definitely seek their help for that."

This solution is perfect ...thanks
Hello Allison,I love the 2nd image that you did! I also, had never heard of SumoPaint, is something that I will have to exolpre a bit! I understand completely the 52 (or so) youtube videos that you probably watched. Sometimes they have what you want, sometimes they don't! However, it is always satisfying when you are able to produce something that you have taught yourself. Great job!Debra 0 likes
