Answer to Question #338388 in Chemical Engineering for smit patel

Question

In slurry reactor pure reactant gas is bubbled through liquid containing suspended catalyst particles. Initially the reactant gas which enters the liquid must diffuse through the liquid film surrounding the catalyst particle. At the surface of particle reactant yields product according to first order kinetics .Draw the concentration profile of gaseous reactant in slurry reactor and derive an expression for the rate of reaction in terms of resistances encountered in the reactor.
