Chapter 14: External Diffusion Effects on Heteregeneous Reactions


\( W_A = C_A V_A \)

Where VA is the particle velocity of A which is the vector average of millions of A molecules at a point. VA is the velocity wrt to a stationary coordinate, e.g., the lab bench.

\( B_A = C_A V = y_A C_T V \)

where V is the molar average velocity of all species



\( V = y_A V_A + y_B V_B \)

multiplying by the total concentration.

\( C_T V = C_A V_A + C_B V_B = (W_A + W_B) \)

\( B_A = y_A (W_A + W_B) \)

\( W_A = J_A + B_A \)

JA tells us of the flux of A with respect to the molar average velocity.

\( W_A = J_A + y_A (W_A + W_B) \)
