Knudsen diffusion is directly proportional to _____________________?

In a chemical reaction, represented by as shown in the bellow figure, it is observed that the (i) Rate of reaction increases by a factor of 4 on doubling the concentration of the reactant. (ii) Rate of reaction increases by a factor of 9 on trebling the concentration of the reactant. Then the rate of the reaction is proportional to(where, CA = concentration of the reactant)_____________________?

Mean residence time is equal to the space time, when_________________?

The following gas phase reaction is taking place in a plug flow reactor. A stoichiometric mixture of A and B at 300 K is fed to the reactor. At 1 m along the length of the reactor, the temperature is 360 K. The pressure drop is negligible and an ideal gas behaviour can be assumed. Identify the correct expression relating the concentration of A at the inlet (CA0), concentration of A at 1m (CA) and the corresponding conversion of A (X) ?

A catalyst in a chemical reaction____________________?

An irreversible aqueous phase reaction, A + B → P, is carried out in an adiabatic mixed flow reactor. A feed containing 4kmole/m3 of each A and B enters the reactor at 8m3 /hr. If the temperature of the exit stream is never to exceed 390 K, what is the maximum inlet feed temperature allowed? Data: Heat of reaction = – 50 kJ/mole Density of the reacting mixture = 1000kg/m3 Specific heat of reacting mixture = 2kJ/kg.K The above data can be assumed to be independent of temperature and composition?

The rate expression for a heterogeneous catalytic reaction is given by, – rA = K.KA PA(1 + KA.PA + KR.PR), where K is surface reaction rate constant and KA and KR are absorption equilibrium constants of A and R respectively.
