Φw is Weisz number, the rest of symbols are commonly

The experiments was made for a broad range of temperature, Thiele moduli
and Biot numbers, for two different shapes of catalyst. The coincidence
of observed results with the theoretical results was very close in both
experiments. Calculated from the model effectiveness factor values
varies from experimental ones more than 10% for only 12.5% of
experiments (15 of 121 measurements). It unambiguously confirms that the
presented algorithm is correct.
Unfortunately we had no possibility to make tests of our method for the
reactor model. Our industrial catalyst turned out to be inappropriate –
the fixed bed possible to application was too short to experimental
verification of our method. Additionally, in open literature, we were
not able to find experimental results of other authors that could be
suitable for verification purposes. Perhaps, among others, lack of
solution method refrain authors from publishing results for reactor.
