Question: ( b ) How does the relationship n = f ( , ) compare with Eq . ( 1 1 - 5 5 ) ?

(b) How does the relationship n = f(,) compare with Eq.(11-55)? What is the relationship between I, and ?
(c) Comparison of the definitions of $,[derived in part (a)] and [from Eq.(11-56)] leads to what relationship between the effective diffusivity D. in a flat plate of catalyst and the diffusivity D for a single pore? Note that L, the actual thickness of one-half the slab in Eq.(11-56), is one-half the pore length. Also note that k in Eq.(11-56) is equal to kS.
(d) What simple model of a porous catalyst will explain the relation between De and D? Assume that the Wheeler equation relating the pore radius, the pore volume, and the surface area [Eq.(11-21)] is applicable.
