    External Transport Process in Heterogeous Reactions

    Uploaded by

    cebajamundi
    The document discusses external transport processes in heterogeneous chemical reactions. There are three main steps: 1) Transport of reactants from the bulk fluid to the fluid-solid interface of the catalyst particle. 2) Transport of products from the interior sites of the catalyst particle back into the bulk fluid stream. 3) The rate of these transport processes and the chemical reaction depend on factors like velocity patterns, fluid properties, and mass transfer coefficients. Transport limitations can affect the overall rate of reaction.
