Chapter 6 Reactions with an interface

Mass and heat transfer effects

Chapter objectives

After successful completion of this chapter, the students are expected to

•   Differentiate the parallel and series resistances of mass transfer in heterogeneous reactions.

•   Compare and contrast fluid–fluid and fluid–solid reaction systems for the governing differential equations.

•   Derive equations describing simultaneous mass transfer with chemical reaction and identify the boundary conditions in fluid–fluid and fluid–solid systems.

•   Differentiate two-film theory, penetration theory, and surface renewal theory of mass transfer across interfaces.

•   Explain the role of mass transfer on the reaction rate and selectivity.

•   Identify the modes ...
