Question: Given system: epsi ( dc ) / ( dt ) = ( D _ ( e ) ) / ( r ^ ( 2

Given system:
\epsi (dc)/(dt)=(D_(e))/(r^(2))(d)/(dr)(r^(2)(dc)/(dr))-S(c,T)
\rho C_(S)(dT)/(dt)=(K)/(r^(2))(d)/(dr)(r^(2)(dT)/(dr))+(-\Delta H)S(c,T)
The initial conditions are given by:
c(0,r)=c_(0);T(0,r)=T_(0)
The boundary conditions at the external boundary of the pill r=r_(0) are given by:
c(t,r_(0))=c_(0);T(t,r_(0))=T_(0)
The boundary conditions at the center of the pill are.
(dc)/(dr)|_(r)=0=0;(dT)/(dr)|_(r)=0=0
1. Introduce the dimensionless concentration Y=cc0, the dimensionless temperature =TT0, and
the dimensionless time- and position variables =Detr02 and z=rr0. Show that the equations
for temperature and concentration in the dimensionless form become:
dYd=1z2ddz(z2dYdz)-2Yexp((1-1))
Ledd=1z2ddz(z2ddz)+2Yexp((1-1));
The initial and boundary conditions become:
Y(0,z)=Y(,1)=1;
(0,z)=(,1)=1;
dYdz(,0)=ddz(,0)=0
Provide expressions for the dimensionless parameters Le(the Lewis number)?1,(the Thiele modulus -explain it!), and .
