A first-order, heterogeneous, irreversible reaction
is taking place within a catalyst pore which is plated with platinum entirely along the length of the pore. The reactant concentration at the plane of symmetry (i.e., equal distance from the pore mouths) of the pore is equal to one-tenth the concentration at the pore mouth. The concentration at the pore mouth is 0.001 mol/L, the pore length (2L) is 2 x 103 cm, and the diffusion coefficient is 0.1 cm 2
/s.
What is the thiele modulus using the dimensionless parameters: w=CA/CAs and l=z/L
