About this document
Diffusion and Reaction in Catalyst Pellets by Curie is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document discusses diffusion and reaction in spherical catalyst pellets. It introduces the concept of effectiveness factor, which is the ratio of the overall reaction rate in the pellet to the reaction rate at the external surface. It describes how the concentration inside the pellet is less than at the external surface due to diffusion limitations. The document then defines effective diffusivity, which accounts for tortuosity and constrictions in the porous pellet, and how this is used to model diffus
