Question $3[20$ Marks$]$

i$.$ The fraction of individual resistances to transport in a slurry reactor are provided in the table $3$

below. If the resistance due to internal diffusion and reaction is estimated to be $2\mathrm{.}03{10}^{3}kg.\frac{s}{m^3}$

estimate the magnitude of the resistance due to each transport step and determine which$-$of the

transport steps is the rate determining step. Explain your answer! How would the reaction medium

be altered to influence the course of the reaction? What is the overall transfer coefficient $(k_{vg})$ of

the gas, if $H=4\mathrm{.}5?[15$ marks$]$
