β¦ Synopsis
An analysis is presented of the concentration protile occurring in a chemical reactor characterized bv radial flow of a fluid between narallel disks. The reaction is the cam&tic oxidation of ethylene on the metal disks and it proceeds at a constant rate because the reactor-is essentially a differential reactor. The flow rate is slow enough that diffusion in the direction of flow has a critical effect on the concentration profile. The equation for diffusion in laminar flow is solved by a perturbation method that under appropriate circumstances can be extended to other geometries and reactions and is useful in the analysisof reaction-rate data.
