About this document

Effects of Pellet Size in Catalysis by Chua Rhick is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This document summarizes a study that used a simulation to investigate the effects of pellet size, diffusivity, and reaction rate constant on heterogeneous catalytic reactions. The study found that increasing pellet size leads to higher Thiele modulus and overall reaction rate, but lower effectiveness factor, due to increased diffusion limitations. Higher diffusivity decreased the Thiele modulus by facilitating faster reactant dispersion, while higher reaction rate constants increased the Thiele modulus by
