Question

12.5 A catalvst for a generic reaction of the form indicated below is available commercially in the form of 0.35-cm-diameter spherical pellets The feed stock is pure C, and the reactor operates at a pressure of 2 atm. The molecular weight of species C is 120.19. The pellets have a specific surface area of 480 m*/g and a void volume of 0.42 cm3/g. If the apparent first-order rate constant for this reaction is 1.49 cm'/(s- g catalyst) at 412°C, determine the effectiveness factor of the catalyst. Youmay assume thatKnudsen diffusion is the dominant mode of transport within the pellets
