Abstract

A general derivation based on film theory for simultaneous irreversible and equilibrium reactions is presented and expressions for the enhancement factor are obtained. In limiting cases the enhancement factor reduces to a simple ratio of diffusivities or to a simpler reaction system. In addition the geometrical contributions to the mass transfer coefficient for spherical and cylindrical coordinates are discussed.
