Abstract

Abstract Simple graphical methods are given for predicting the effectiveness factors of single reactions in particles of various shapes. A collocation procedure is used for small particles, and the known asymptotic solution is used for large particles. Multiple steady states and variable fluid properties can be handled directly. Examples are given for several nonlinear reaction rate laws.
