ent research:1. Theoretical rate equations have been derived for liquid phase mass transfer accompanied by first-order complex chemical reactions. The kinetics considered is a combination of consecutive, reversible, and parallel chemical reactions.2. The film-penetration model has been shown to be a general model among the theories considered. I t takes the film theory and the surface renewal theory as the lower and upper limits, respectively, in the theoretical predictions.3. The ratio of chemical to physical mass transfer coefficients is smaller than that for mass transfer with a firstorder irreversible reaction. The theories deviate significantly for cases where the reversible reaction is strong, and the diffusivities of the intermediate product and the reactant are quite different.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
