✦ Synopsis

A numerical procedure is described for generating either symmetric or asymmetric steadystate mass and temperature profiles in a catalyst slab. Observations on the dynamic behavior of these catalyst slabs and the stability af the steady-state profiles are quoted. The validity of the frequently used assumption of symmetry or isothemxdity of a catalyst particle is also discussed.
