Φw is Weisz number, the rest of symbols are commonly applied
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.
