Abstract:Molar balances of continuous and batch reacting systems with a simple reaction are analyzed from the point of view of finding relationships between the thermodynamic driving force and the chemical reaction rate. Special attention is focused on steady state, which has been the core subject of previous similar work. It is argued that such relationships should contain, besides the thermodynamic driving force, also a kinetic factor, and are of a specific form for a specific reacting system. More general analysis i… Show more
