Solution:

Mass Transfer Equatiton:

-ra = kg (CAg-CAs) ………. (i)

For reversible reaction step:

-ra = ks (CAs- CAe) ………...(ii)

Combining (i) & (ii)

kg (CAg-CAs) = ks (CAs- CAe)

kg CAg- kg CAs= ks CAs- ks CAe

kg CAg + ks CAe = ks CAs + kg CAs

kg CAg + ks CAe = ( ks + kg ) CAs

CAs = ( kg CAg + ks CAe )/ ( ks + kg )

Replacing CAs in (i) or (ii) gives

-ra = (1/(1/ ks + 1/ kg ))*( CAg - CAe )

17.2)

Solution:

Mass Transfer Equatiton:

-ra = kg (CAg-CAs) ………. (i)

Second Order Equation:

-ra = ks CAs2 …………… (ii)

Combining

kg (CAg-CAs) = ks CAs2

kgCAg– kgCAs=ksCAs2
kgCAg= kgCAs + ksCAs2

(CAs + ks/2ks)2= (kg/ks)*CAg + kg2/2ks2

CAs= (√(4CAgkskg + kg2)-kg)/2ks

Put value of CAs in (i)

-ra = kg (CAg-(√(4CAgkskg + kg2)-kg)/2ks)

By Simlifying

-ra = (kg / 2ks)*(2ksCAg + kg - -(√(4CAgkskg + kg2)

17.3)

Solution:

For gas and liquid interphase:

-ra= kg (CAi- CAl) ……….. (i)

For sollid and liquid interphase:

-ra= kl (CAl- CAs) ………… (ii)

For surface reaction:

-ra= ks CAs ………. (iii)

Combining (i), (ii) & (iii) and eliminating intermediate concentration CAl and CAs

-ra = (1/(1/kg + 1/kl + 1/ks))* CAi
