“…The processes considered in each such reactor are divided into the surface reaction of the gas with the sample and the bulk diffusion of oxygen ions into the oxide, and the partial pressure of oxygen in the gas entering each subsequent reactor is determined by the partial pressure of oxygen in the gas mixture from the previous one. To meet these conditions, the flow is selected in such a way that the oxide in the reactor can partially restore the oxygen pressure between its initial equilibrium pressure and the oxygen pressure in the gas, that is, enter the material–gas feedback regime, corresponding to reaction conditions lying between the material-kinetic and the gas-phase limits. , In the material–kinetic limit, when the flow rates are too high, the sample will not have enough time to establish this intermediate equilibrium and the oxygen pressure in the gas above the sample will not significantly differ from the oxygen pressure in the gas. In the gas-phase limit, when the flow rate is too low, the sample will be able to keep the oxygen pressure in the reactor close to its equilibrium value, corresponding to its stoichiometry.…”
