ABSTRACT
Although chemical reactions are of secondary interest in this book, it is important to consider what effect such reactions have on mass transfer processes. The goal here is to consider examples of both homogeneous and heterogeneous reactions and to see how the addition of another term in the species continuity equation affects the solution methods for mass transfer problems. There is no discussion here of methods for determining appropriate kinetic mechanisms for a particular reaction, and, in addition, simple constitutive equations are utilized for all reaction rate terms.
