Chapter 5: Isothermal Reactor Design: Conversion
Derivation for Turbulent Flow:
\(\alpha = \frac{2G(1 - \phi)}{A_c \rho_o g_c D_p \phi^3 P_0} \left[\text{small number} + 1.75G\right]\)
\(\rho_o = \frac{P_0 (MW)}{RT_0}\)
\(\alpha \sim \frac{3.5G^2(1 - \phi)}{A_c \rho_o g_c D_p^3 \phi^3 P_0} \sim \frac{G^2}{A_c D_p P_0^2}\)
