Solid Catalyzed Reactions

PERFORMANCE EQUATIONS

a) For Plug Flow

So for first order catalytic reactions;

 b) For Mixed Flow

c) For a Reactor Containing Batch Catalyst and Batch Gas

d) Differential reactors

e) Integral Reactors

For Integral analysis, use performance equation for plug flow.

f) Recycle Reactors

For recycle reactors with large recycle ratio, performance equation for mixed flow

Other Useful Equations are:
