β¦ Synopsis
Using variational techniques, a computationally efficient procedure is developed for determining the sensitivity of the observed reaction rate in a porous catalyst with external transport resistances. Derivatives of the observed rate with respect to bulk fluid conditions or any other parameters in the mathematical model of the catalyst may be easily calculated for slab, cylindrical, or spherical catalyst geometry.
