ABSTRACT

In the first part of this book, we have studied the kinetics of homogeneous and heterogeneous chemical reactions as well as the influence of parameters on the reaction rates not taking into account diffusion and mass effects. These phenomena are caused by heat and mass transfer limitations. Therefore, the parameters have been determined under kinetic control regime in the absence of transport phenomena effects. When these phenomena take place, the observed rate is lower than the intrinsic kinetic rate. The effects must be determined separately.
