PLEASE CONSIDER BOTH IMAGES AND DO NOT WRITE THE SAME ANSWER GIVEN BEFORE!!
To illustrate the effect of mass velocity on external diffusion in the oxidation of sulfur dioxide with a platinum catalyst, consider the following data, all at 480C.
The reactor consisted of fixed bed of 1818 in cylindrical pellets. The pressure was 790mmHg. The external area of catalyst particles was 1.05m2kg, and the platinum did not penetrate into the interior of the alumina pellets. Calculate the partial pressure difference between the bulk gas phase and the surface of the catalyst for SO2 at each mass velocity. What conclusions may be stated with regard to importance of external diffusion? Neglect temperature differences. Data: void fraction of bed =0.43 and Bulk diffusivity of SO2 in air
D =6.3010-5m2s.
Cb-CS=rp(D)23at(G)SD
rp=km*am(cb-cs)
rpkm*am=(cb-cs)
D=6,3010-5m2s
air=3,7210-5Pa.s(480C)
dparticle =0,0038m
air=0,487kgm3(480C)
